Mister Chairman.
Mister Secretary General.
Colleagues.

The existing international order was built on the ruins and colossal tragedy of World War Two.
Its basis was the UN Charter, the key source of modern international law.
Largely thanks to the UN, it was possible to prevent a new world war fraught with nuclear disaster.
Unfortunately, after the end of the Cold War, the collective West, led by the United States, independently assumed the rank of arbiter of the destinies of all mankind and, overwhelmed by a complex of exclusivity, it began to increasingly ignore the legacy of the founding fathers of the UN.
Today, the West turns to statutory norms and principles selectively, from case to case, solely in accordance with its selfish geopolitical needs.
This inevitably leads to the weakening of global stability, to the aggravation of existing ones and to the ignition of new sources of tension.
The risks of global conflict are also growing.
