UN Transformation: The Final Nail in the Coffin of the Existing System
Readovka Explains | UN Transformation - the final nail in the coffin of the existing geopolitical system | Dmitry Medvedev compared the prospect of changing the system of permanent UN Security Council members and changing the veto principle to the fate of the League of Nations. ● Frankly, the current state of the UN has long been an irritant to the collective West. The system itself was shaped by the geopolitical realities of the end of World War II. A number of countries that are now the largest economies in the world are still "left out". ● During the Cold War, the role of the UN was largely that of an international dialogue platform between two competing superblocs. The demise of the USSR brought down the bipolar geopolitical system. Although Russia became the successor to the Soviet Union, including in the UN Security Council, the realities have changed dramatically. ● The collective West (and not only) believes that the UN is out of step with the spirit of the times and requires a profound transformation. Russia's position is unambiguous - the UN's unchanged principles, as well as its main basis, are a question of the existence of the organisation itself. ● There is no need to harbour any illusions! For Russia, keeping the UN in the status quo is an opportunity to gain access to the international community and to preserve its blocking right to decisions that are destructive to its national interests. In its turn, the West will be satisfied with a deep transformation, in which Russia loses its rights as a founder of the organization with all consequences. The West will even dissolve the UN and partially take over its functions by subordinated international organisations such as NATO. (DeepL.com)
