UN General Assembly
2021

We are convinced that it is time to draw lessons from the dangerous repercussions of the policy of undermining the United Nations-centric architecture, which was created in the aftermath of the Second World War and has repeatedly proven itself to be a reliable bulwark against disastrous eventualities. In the face of global challenges, the world needs unity rather than a new divide. Russia strongly advocates that we reject any confrontation and stereotypes and join efforts to solve the key tasks of development and humankind’s survival. We have the instruments to ensure that. Above all, the United Nations and the Security Council should be adapted to the reality of a polycentric world order by enlarging the Council and providing increased representation for Asia, Africa and Latin America. The permanent members of the Security Council, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, bear a special responsibility to the Organization and must encourage genuine collective action.
