UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The current model of ensuring stability and security in the world is unreliable, the Global South countries do not receive support from the United Nations and in this regard are creating their own mechanisms Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov said in an interview with Sputnik.
The minister said the current model of ensuring stability and security in the world is "coming apart at the seams", adding that the UN is also unable to cope with "the influx of problems that are today simply destroying the international consensus on issues of further global development."
"Certain regions, or certain groups of countries, such as the Global South, or some countries united by their common interests, can no longer receive any adequate response or support from UN organizations and are beginning to independently create certain mechanisms that will help them resolve these issues, which, strictly speaking, are within the UN's area of responsibility, including: security issues, terrorist activities, addressing illegal migration, human rights, and so on," Ryzhenkov told Sputnik during the UN General Assembly session.
He cited BRICS and the SCO as examples - these, he noted, are "echoes" of the fact that the UN is failing to fulfill its main responsibility - to be a "consolidating link" that allows the interests of all countries to be taken into account based on the principle of consensus and the principles that are laid down in all the fundamental documents of the Organization.
