1 Multipolar Order and the Global Majority vs the Western Minority
Уважаемый господин Председатель, Ваши превосходительства, Дамы и господа, За прошлые дни с этой трибуны и в кулуарах Генассамблеи уже не раз звучала мысль о том, что в мировой политике происходят тектонические сдвиги и на наших глазах рождается более справедливый многополярный миропорядок. Страны Глобального Юга и Востока утверждают себя в качестве суверенных центров развития, берут ответственность за обеспечение безопасности в своих регионах.	Full house translation — pending review Mr. President, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, over the past few days, the idea that tectonic shifts are taking place in world politics and that a fairer multipolar world order is being born before our eyes has been voiced repeatedly from this rostrum and on the sidelines of the General Assembly. The countries of the Global South and East are establishing themselves as sovereign centers of development and taking responsibility for ensuring security in their regions.
Они демонстрируют приверженность международному праву, неприятие внешнего давления, заинтересованность в процветании всех государств, а не только «избранных». Такая созидательная философия лежит и в основе российской внешней политики, её разделяют наши многочисленные единомышленники, на ней зиждется сотрудничество в СНГ , ШОС , БРИКС и других объединениях Мирового большинства. Однако не всем это по душе.	Full house translation — pending review They demonstrate a commitment to international law, a rejection of external pressure, and an interest in the prosperity of all states, rather than just the “chosen ones.” This constructive philosophy also underpins Russian foreign policy; it is shared by our many like-minded partners and forms the foundation of cooperation within the CIS, the SCO, BRICS and other associations of the Global Majority. However, not everyone likes this.
Западное меньшинство, доминировавшее пять столетий за счёт чужих ресурсов, не оставляет попыток сохранить за собой привилегии, навязать всем свои «правила». Запад всё чаще прибегает к грубой силе, действует непредсказуемо и авантюрно, ставит под угрозу жизнь и благополучие миллионов, если не миллиардов жителей нашей общей планеты. По определению Президента России В.В.Путина , диктатура одного гегемона «…пошла вразнос и просто опасна для окружающих».	Full house translation — pending review The Western minority, which dominated for five centuries at the expense of others’ resources, continues its attempts to retain its privileges and impose its “rules” on everyone. The West increasingly resorts to brute force, acts unpredictably and recklessly, and endangers the lives and well-being of millions, if not billions, of inhabitants of our shared planet. As Russian President V.V. Putin put it, the dictatorship of a single hegemon “…has gone off the rails and is simply dangerous to those around it.”
2 Venezuela — Capture of Maduro as Illegal Use of Force
В начале этого года в нарушение любых норм, в том числе норм морали, вторжение США в Венесуэлу завершилось захватом президента Н.Мадуро и его супруги, бессудным содержанием их в американской тюрьме. Это при том, что международное право прямо предписывает соблюдать иммунитеты и неприкосновенность высших должностных лиц государств. Настаиваем на скорейшем освобождении венесуэльского лидера и его супруги, неповторении подобных эксцессов в будущем.	Full house translation — pending review At the beginning of this year, in violation of every norm, including moral norms, the US invasion of Venezuela culminated in the seizure of President N. Maduro and his wife and their imprisonment without trial in an American prison. This is despite the fact that international law expressly requires respect for the immunities and inviolability of states’ highest officials. We insist on the earliest possible release of the Venezuelan leader and his wife and on the non-recurrence of such excesses in the future.
3 Iran — Killing of Khamenei, IAEA Sites, and Gulf Collective Security
Неприемлемым проявлением силового диктата считаем убийство Верховного руководителя Ирана аятоллы Али Хаменеи и членов его семьи, членов военного и политического руководства Исламской Республики. Особую тревогу вызывает тот факт, что другими целями американо-израильской агрессии, начавшейся в июне прошлого года, стала не только гражданская инфраструктура Ирана, но и мирные ядерные объекты, находившиеся под защитой гарантий МАГАТЭ .	Full house translation — pending review We regard the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and members of his family, and members of the Islamic Republic’s military and political leadership, as an unacceptable manifestation of coercive diktat. Particularly alarming is the fact that other targets of the American-Israeli aggression, which began in June of last year, included not only Iran’s civilian infrastructure but also peaceful nuclear facilities protected by IAEA safeguards.
Это нанесло непоправимый урон авторитету Агентства и всей системе нераспространения ядерного оружия. Рецидивы вооружённой конфронтации в зоне Персидского залива и Ормузского пролива продолжаются, несмотря на очевидный всем ущерб для мировой навигации и торговли. Считаем необходимым условием для урегулирования кризиса установить доверие в отношениях между прибрежными государствами Залива – арабскими странами и Ираном.	Full house translation — pending review This has caused irreparable damage to the Agency’s standing and to the entire nuclear non-proliferation system. Armed confrontation continues to recur in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, despite the damage to global shipping and trade that is obvious to everyone. We consider establishing trust in relations between the Gulf’s coastal states—the Arab countries and Iran—to be a necessary condition for resolving the crisis.
4 Palestine, Gaza, and Wider Middle East / African Conflicts
На формирование устойчивой региональной архитектуры направлена наша Концепция обеспечения коллективной безопасности в зоне Персидского залива. Россия вместе с другими ответственными странами готова вносить конструктивный вклад в стабилизацию этого стратегически важного района. Убеждены, что пришло время и для решения главной проблемы Ближнего Востока – обеспечения государственности палестинского народа на основе многочисленных решений ООН .	Full house translation — pending review Our Concept for Ensuring Collective Security in the Persian Gulf Region is aimed at forming a stable regional architecture. Russia, together with other responsible countries, is ready to make a constructive contribution to stabilizing this strategically important region. We are convinced that the time has also come to resolve the Middle East’s central problem: ensuring statehood for the Palestinian people on the basis of the numerous UN decisions.
Почти год назад Совет Безопасности по инициативе США одобрил «план мира» для сектора Газа, но мир там не наступил. Там всё ещё гибнут старики, женщины и дети, гуманитарная ситуация по-прежнему критическая. Деградирует положение и на Западном берегу реки Иордан, где Израиль расширяет поселенческую активность. Если так пойдёт и дальше, создать палестинское государство будет невозможно – для него просто не останется места. Но тогда и безопасность Израиля будет под постоянной угрозой – эксперты прекрасно это понимают.	Full house translation — pending review Almost a year ago, at the initiative of the United States, the Security Council endorsed a “peace plan” for the Gaza Strip, but peace has not come there. Elderly people, women and children are still dying there, and the humanitarian situation remains critical. The situation is also deteriorating in the West Bank of the Jordan River, where Israel is expanding its settlement activity. If this continues, it will be impossible to establish a Palestinian state—there will simply be no room left for it. But then Israel’s security, too, will be under constant threat—experts understand this perfectly well.
5 Cuba — Blockade, Trade Restrictions, and the Terrorism List
От ООН, от всех нас, государств-членов, требуются срочные нестандартные ходы, чтобы обратить вспять неблагоприятные тенденции на Ближнем Востоке и близлежащих территориях. Речь не только о Палестине , но и о Ливане , Сирии , Йемене , Ираке , Судане , Сомали , Южном Судане , других странах Африки, где бушуют конфликты. Неотложные меры требуются для выправления бедственной гуманитарной ситуации на Кубе , которая сегодня подвергается беспрецедентному давлению со стороны северного соседа.	Full house translation — pending review The UN and all of us, its member states, must take urgent, unconventional steps to reverse the adverse trends in the Middle East and surrounding territories. This concerns not only Palestine but also Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan and other African countries where conflicts are raging. Urgent measures are needed to remedy the disastrous humanitarian situation in Cuba, which today is facing unprecedented pressure from its northern neighbor.
Подтверждаем солидарность с кубинским народом и правительством, настоятельно призываем снять морскую блокаду Острова свободы, отменить все ограничения на торговлю с Кубой, исключить страну из давно ставшего одиозным списка государств-спонсоров терроризма. Это лишь наиболее вопиющие примеры, требующие первоочередного внимания международного сообщества. Однако ограничиваться ими нельзя. Силовая политика и «двойные стандарты» Запада дестабилизируют обстановку повсюду.	Full house translation — pending review We reaffirm our solidarity with the Cuban people and government and strongly urge that the naval blockade of the Island of Freedom be lifted, all restrictions on trade with Cuba be abolished, and the country be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, which has long since become notorious. These are only the most flagrant examples requiring the international community’s priority attention. However, we cannot confine ourselves to them. The West’s policy of force and “double standards” are destabilizing the situation everywhere.
6 The Balkans — Kosovo Resolution 1244 and Dayton Bosnia
На Балканах Евросоюз грубо игнорирует резолюцию 1244 СБ ООН и принуждает Сербию смириться с утратой края Косово, отказаться от своей истории и памяти предков. Белград буквально заставляют ввести санкции против России, обещая взамен призрачную, как все уже понимают, перспективу евроинтеграции. В попытке унитаризации Боснии и Герцеговины сербов подталкивают к отказу от конституционных полномочий, гарантированных Дейтонским мирным соглашением и Советом Безопасности ООН.	Full house translation — pending review In the Balkans, the European Union is flagrantly disregarding UN Security Council resolution 1244 and forcing Serbia to accept the loss of the province of Kosovo and renounce its history and the memory of its ancestors. Belgrade is literally being forced to impose sanctions on Russia, with the promise in return of a prospect of European integration that, as everyone now understands, is illusory. In an attempt to turn Bosnia and Herzegovina into a unitary state, the Serbs are being pushed to relinquish the constitutional powers guaranteed by the Dayton Peace Agreement and the UN Security Council.
7 Ukraine — Western Sponsors, Arms Flows, and Blocking Peace Talks
В аналогичном духе пренебрежения международным правом серьёзную угрозу международному миру и безопасности создают безрассудные действия внешних спонсоров киевского режима. Ради утопической цели сдерживания России Запад своими руками разрушил систему европейской безопасности и взрастил русофобский режим в Киеве . Понимая тщетность своих потуг, в Европе делают всё, чтобы помешать мирному урегулированию и сорвать перспективы переговоров, в которых многие заинтересованы, в том числе администрация Д.Трампа.	Full house translation — pending review In a similar spirit of disregard for international law, the reckless actions of the Kyiv regime’s external sponsors pose a serious threat to international peace and security. In pursuit of the utopian goal of containing Russia, the West destroyed the European security system with its own hands and nurtured a Russophobic regime in Kyiv. Realizing the futility of their efforts, those in Europe are doing everything they can to obstruct a peaceful settlement and derail the prospects for negotiations in which many are interested, including D. Trump’s administration.
Запад накачивает украинский режим оружием, помогает Киеву нацеливать дроны и ракеты на мирных жителей и гражданскую инфраструктуру. На Западе грезят нанести России «стратегическое поражение», но эти грёзы, как уже бывало много раз в прошлом, приведут в стратегический тупик самих поджигателей войны. Уважаемые коллеги, Год назад мы отметили 80-летие Победы над германским нацизмом и японским милитаризмом.	Full house translation — pending review The West is pumping weapons into the Ukrainian regime and helping Kyiv target drones and missiles at civilians and civilian infrastructure. In the West, they dream of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia, but these dreams, as has happened many times in the past, will lead the warmongers themselves into a strategic dead end. Esteemed colleagues, Last year we marked the 80th anniversary of the Victory over German Nazism and Japanese militarism.
8 Nuremberg Lessons, Glorification of Nazism, and German Remilitarization
На следующей неделе, 1 октября, исполнится 80 лет со дня завершения работы Международного военного трибунала в Нюрнберге. Исторический приговор Суда народов, под каким именем известен Нюрнбергский трибунал , сурово и недвусмысленно заклеймил нацистских преступников, поставил вне закона и морали человеконенавистническую идеологию нацизма. Между тем, спустя 80 лет, уроки Нюрнберга выучены далеко не всеми.	Full house translation — pending review Next week, on 1 October, it will be 80 years since the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg concluded its work. The historic judgment of the Court of the Peoples, as the Nuremberg Tribunal is known, sternly and unequivocally condemned the Nazi criminals and placed the misanthropic ideology of Nazism beyond the bounds of law and morality. Yet, 80 years later, far from everyone has learned the lessons of Nuremberg.
Правящие верхи многих стран Евросоюза, судя по заявлениям их представителей, явно поражены вирусом расового превосходства, вынашивают экстремистские, русофобские идеи. Потворствуют главарям украинского режима, когда те чествуют в Киеве отпетых военных преступников и гитлеровских коллаборационистов, чьи руки по локоть в крови русских, евреев, белорусов, украинцев и лиц других национальностей. Почти весь Запад ежегодно голосует здесь, в этом зале, против российской резолюции, осуждающей героизацию нацизма.	Full house translation — pending review Judging by their representatives' statements, the ruling elites of many European Union countries are clearly infected with the virus of racial superiority and harbor extremist, Russophobic ideas. They indulge the leaders of the Ukrainian regime when they honor notorious war criminals and Hitler's collaborators in Kyiv, whose hands are steeped in the blood of Russians, Jews, Belarusians, Ukrainians and people of other nationalities. Almost the entire West votes here in this hall every year against the Russian resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism.
Против неё голосуют Германия , Япония , а также все страны НАТО , среди которых немало виновных в преступлениях против человечности в годы Второй мировой войны. Нас это не удивляет. Но хотел бы подчеркнуть: итоги Второй мировой лежат в фундаменте послевоенного миропорядка и закреплены в Уставе ООН . Бывшие государства «Оси», ратифицировав этот документ, признали свою историческую ответственность за неисчислимые бедствия, которые принесли миру нацистские идеология и практика.	Full house translation — pending review Germany, Japan and all NATO countries vote against it, and many among them are guilty of crimes against humanity during the Second World War. This does not surprise us. But I would like to emphasize that the outcomes of the Second World War form the foundation of the postwar world order and are enshrined in the UN Charter. By ratifying this document, the former Axis states acknowledged their historical responsibility for the incalculable calamities that Nazi ideology and practices brought upon the world.
Когда сегодня стыдливо закрывают глаза на всё более явные проявления украинского нацизма, под удар подводятся сами основы ооноцентричного миропорядка. Предавая забвению ответственность нацистской Германии за геноцид советского народа и не стесняясь роли ФРГ как основного спонсора нацистского режима в Киеве, канцлер Ф.Мерц заявляет о необходимости «вновь» превратить Германию в главную военную силу в Европе. Понимают ли в Берлине, что означает это «вновь», к чему это может привести?	Full house translation — pending review When people today shamefully turn a blind eye to the increasingly evident manifestations of Ukrainian Nazism, the very foundations of the UN-centered world order come under attack. Consigning Nazi Germany's responsibility for the genocide of the Soviet people to oblivion and showing no embarrassment at the Federal Republic of Germany's role as the main sponsor of the Nazi regime in Kyiv, Chancellor F. Merz declares the need to turn Germany “once again” into Europe's leading military power. Do they understand in Berlin what this “once again” means and where it could lead?
9 Language Ban, “European Values,” and the SMO under the UN Charter
Разве итоги Второй мировой ничему не научили? Украинский режим открыто попирает такой краеугольный принцип Устава ООН, как уважение прав человека и основных свобод для всех, без различия расы, пола, языка и религии. В мире нет другой страны, кроме Украины , где законодательно запрещён какой-либо язык. На Украине русский язык – под запретом. За его использование – наказание вплоть до тюрьмы. Но в Евросоюзе, где кичатся «европейскими ценностями», будто в рот воды набрали: ни слова осуждения.	Full house translation — pending review Have the outcomes of the Second World War taught them nothing? The Ukrainian regime openly tramples on such a cornerstone principle of the UN Charter as respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion. There is no country in the world other than Ukraine where any language is banned by law. In Ukraine, the Russian language is banned. Using it is punishable by penalties up to and including imprisonment. But in the European Union, where they boast of “European values,” they keep their mouths firmly shut: not a word of condemnation.
Лишь говорят, что Украина как раз помогает отстаивать те самые «европейские ценности». Невольно приходишь к выводу, что и нацизм, и вопиющие нарушения украинским режимом свободы слова, информации, вероисповедания составляют суть этих самых «европейских ценностей». Начав в 2022 году специальную военную операцию по защите людей Донбасса и Новороссии от истребления киевским режимом, Россия продолжает бороться за их безопасность и права в полном соответствии с буквой и духом Устава ООН.	Full house translation — pending review They merely say that Ukraine is helping to defend those very “European values.” One cannot help concluding that both Nazism and the Ukrainian regime's flagrant violations of freedom of speech, information and religion constitute the essence of those very “European values.” Having launched the special military operation in 2022 to protect the people of Donbass and Novorossiya from extermination by the Kyiv regime, Russia continues to fight for their security and rights in full accordance with the letter and spirit of the UN Charter.
Наша борьба за правду и справедливость будет доведена до конца: цели специальной военной операции будут достигнуты, угрозы безопасности России устранены, мирная жизнь восстановлена. Это произойдёт, несмотря на любые обстоятельства, включая неспособность нынешнего руководства Всемирной организации занять единственно правильную позицию в ситуации с Украиной – позицию защитника принципов Устава ООН, но не выборочно, а в их совокупности, полноте и взаимосвязи.	Full house translation — pending review Our struggle for truth and justice will be carried through to the end: the objectives of the special military operation will be achieved, threats to Russia's security eliminated, and peaceful life restored. This will happen regardless of any circumstances, including the inability of the current leadership of the world Organization to adopt the only correct position on the situation in Ukraine: that of a defender of the principles of the UN Charter, not selectively, but in their entirety, fullness and interconnection.
10 New Secretary-General and Security Council Reform
Рассчитываем, что новый Генсекретарь, которого мы должны избрать до конца года, станет неукоснительно придерживаться своего мандата, принципов беспристрастности и равноудалённости, которые зафиксированы в Уставе. Будет представлять всё международное сообщество, а не обслуживать интересы отдельных государств, не будет подрывать межправительственную природу системы ООН и не будет размывать прерогативы Совета Безопасности и его постоянных членов.	Full house translation — pending review We expect the new Secretary-General, whom we must elect before the end of the year, to adhere strictly to their mandate and to the principles of impartiality and equidistance enshrined in the Charter. They should represent the entire international community rather than serve the interests of individual states, should not undermine the intergovernmental nature of the UN system, and should not erode the prerogatives of the Security Council and its permanent members.
Наш принципиальный подход состоит в том, что реформа Совета Безопасности не может предусматривать каких-либо дополнительных «кресел» странам Запада, тем более Германии и Японии, которые встали на путь милитаризации и реваншизма. Выступаем исключительно за увеличение представленности Азии, Африки и Латинской Америки, поддерживаем кандидатуры Бразилии и Индии на постоянные места при одновременном – подчеркну это – удовлетворении интересов Африканского континента с учётом консенсуса Эзулвини и Сиртской декларации.	Full house translation — pending review Our principled position is that Security Council reform cannot provide any additional “seats” for Western countries, particularly Germany and Japan, which have embarked on the path of militarization and revanchism. We advocate solely increasing the representation of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and support the candidacies of Brazil and India for permanent seats while simultaneously—and I emphasize this—meeting the interests of the African continent, taking account of the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration.
11 Information Security, Cybercrime Convention, and AI Governance
Уважаемые дамы и господа, Проводя ответственный свой внешнеполитический курс, Россия работает над оздоровлением ситуации в мире – в единстве с нашими союзниками и стратегическими партнёрами, в том числе по БРИКС, ШОС, ЕАЭС , СНГ, ОДКБ . Мы предлагаем объединительную повестку дня, конкретные идеи и проекты. Сейчас на первый план объективно выходит тематика международной информационной безопасности. Очевидно, что именно ООН, а не келейные закрытые механизмы, должна играть центральную роль в этом вопросе.	Full house translation — pending review Ladies and gentlemen, In pursuing its responsible foreign policy, Russia is working to improve the situation in the world, in unity with our allies and strategic partners, including within BRICS, the SCO, the EAEU, the CIS and the CSTO. We offer an agenda that brings people together, concrete ideas and projects. International information security is now objectively coming to the fore. Clearly, the UN, rather than secretive, closed mechanisms, must play the central role in this matter.
В октябре прошлого года в Ханое была открыта для подписания разработанная по инициативе России Конвенция ООН против киберпреступности. Приветствуем запуск созданного для её реализации Всемирного механизма под эгидой ООН – первого постоянно действующего формата в данной сфере. Особая ответственность ложится на ООН и ввиду стремительного развития технологий искусственного интеллекта.	Full house translation — pending review In October last year, the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia's initiative, was opened for signature in Hanoi. We welcome the launch of the Global Mechanism established under UN auspices to implement it—the first permanent framework in this field. A special responsibility also falls on the UN in view of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies.
Общепризнаваемые правила его применения могут быть сформулированы только на равноправной основе, с участием всех стран, с этим трудно спорить. Начало работы Глобального диалога по управлению искусственным интеллектом и Независимой международной научной группы по искусственному интеллекту расцениваем как шаги в правильном направлении. В этом же русле идёт поддержанная Россией инициатива КНР по созданию Всемирной организации по сотрудничеству в области ИИ.	Full house translation — pending review Universally recognized rules for its use can only be formulated on an equal footing, with the participation of all countries; that is difficult to dispute. We regard the start of the work of the Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance and the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence as steps in the right direction. China's initiative to establish a World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, supported by Russia, follows the same course.
12 Neo-Colonialism and the “For the Freedom of Nations!” Assembly
В середине прошлого века Советский Союз помогал народам Африки, Азии и Латинской Америки освободиться от пут колониальной зависимости. Дальнейшая демократизация международной жизни невозможна без искоренения неоколониальных практик, которые всё еще весьма видны. Значимой вехой на этом пути стало принятие резолюции Генеральной Ассамблеи о провозглашении 14 декабря Международным днём против колониализма во всех его формах и проявлениях.	Full house translation — pending review In the middle of the last century, the Soviet Union helped the peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America free themselves from the shackles of colonial dependence. Further democratization of international affairs is impossible without eradicating neocolonial practices, which are still very much in evidence. A significant milestone on this path was the adoption of the General Assembly resolution proclaiming 14 December the International Day against Colonialism in All Its Forms and Manifestations.
13 Equal and Indivisible Security, NATO’s Asia Push, and the Eurasian Charter
Будем рады видеть сторонников борьбы с современными практиками неоколониализма из всех государств на первой Всемирной ассамблее Международного межпартийного движения «За свободу наций!», которая пройдёт в России в ближайшие месяцы. Уважаемые коллеги, Обеспечить прочный мир можно только тогда, когда прекратится опасное соперничество крупнейших мировых игроков. Добиться этого можно лишь на основе неукоснительного соблюдения Устава ООН, принципа равной и неделимой безопасности.	Full house translation — pending review We will be pleased to welcome supporters of the struggle against contemporary neocolonial practices from all states to the first World Assembly of the International Interparty Movement "For the Freedom of Nations!", which will take place in Russia in the coming months. Esteemed colleagues, lasting peace can only be ensured when the dangerous rivalry among the world's major players ceases. This can be achieved only on the basis of strict adherence to the UN Charter and the principle of equal and indivisible security.
Этот принцип, напомню, означает отказ от обеспечения безопасности одного государства за счёт ущемления безопасности других, недопустимость того, чтобы какая-либо страна, группа стран или организация претендовали на доминирование в сфере безопасности. Прежде всего это касается НАТО, которая пытается распространить своё деструктивное влияние далеко за географические пределы зоны своей ответственности, включая Юго-Восточную Азию и Северо-Восточную Азию.	Full house translation — pending review This principle, I remind you, means refraining from ensuring one state's security at the expense of undermining the security of others, and the inadmissibility of any country, group of countries or organization claiming dominance in the security sphere. This applies above all to NATO, which is attempting to extend its destructive influence far beyond the geographical boundaries of its area of responsibility, including into Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia.
Ценности широкого равноправного сотрудничества лежат в основе выдвинутых Президентом России В.В.Путиным инициатив по формированию Большого Евразийского партнёрства и архитектуры безопасности на всём континенте Евразии. Вчера здесь, в Нью-Йорке, Россия, Белоруссия и наши единомышленники приняли заявление о начале работы над «Евразийской хартией многообразия и многополярности в XXI веке» .	Full house translation — pending review The values of broad cooperation on an equal footing underpin the initiatives put forward by Russian President V.V. Putin to establish a Greater Eurasian Partnership and a security architecture across the entire Eurasian continent. Yesterday, here in New York, Russia, Belarus and our like-minded partners adopted a statement on beginning work on the "Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the twenty-first Century".
Призываем всех, кто готов стать частью новой общеконтинентальной архитектуры мира и развития, внести вклад в успех этого важного начинания, призванного дополнить и гармонизировать работу существующих механизмов в духе геополитических реалий нарождающегося многополярного мира. Благодарю за внимание.	Full house translation — pending review We call on everyone ready to become part of a new continent-wide architecture of peace and development to contribute to the success of this important undertaking, intended to complement and harmonize the work of existing mechanisms in keeping with the geopolitical realities of the emerging multipolar world. Thank you for your attention.

Countries of the Global South and East are asserting themselves as sovereign centres of growth and are assuming responsibility for ensuring security in their respective regions.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified They demonstrate a commitment to international law, a rejection of external pressure, and an interest in the prosperity of all states – not merely the chosen few. This constructive philosophy also underpins Russian foreign policy; it is shared by our many like-minded partners and forms the foundation of cooperation within the CIS, the SCO, BRICS, and other associations of the Global Majority. However, this is not to everyone’s liking.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified The Western minority, which has dominated for five centuries by exploiting the resources of others, persists in its attempts to retain its privileges and impose its “rules” on everyone else. The West increasingly resorts to the use of brute force, acts unpredictably and recklessly, and jeopardises the lives and well-being of millions – if not billions – of people on our shared planet.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified As Russian President Vladimir Putin has put it, the dictatorship of a single hegemon “…is getting out of control and is simply dangerous for others.” Earlier this year, in violation of all norms, including moral ones, a US invasion of Venezuela culminated in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, and their detention without trial in an American prison – even though international law explicitly mandates respect for the immunity and inviolability of high-ranking state officials.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We insist on the immediate release of the Venezuelan leader and his spouse and demand that such outrages not be repeated in the future. We regard the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with members of his family and the military and political leadership of the Islamic Republic, as an unacceptable manifestation of the diktat of force.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified It is especially alarming that the US-Israeli aggression, which began last June, targeted not only Iran’s civilian infrastructure but also peaceful nuclear facilities protected by IAEA safeguards. This has caused irreparable damage to the Agency’s credibility and to the entire nuclear non-proliferation system. Armed confrontations continue to recur in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz, despite the obvious damage inflicted on global shipping and trade.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We believe that establishing trust between the Gulf’s littoral states – the Arab nations and Iran – is a necessary condition for resolving the crisis. Our Concept for Collective Security in the Gulf is aimed at establishing a stable regional architecture. Russia, together with other responsible nations, stands ready to make a constructive contribution to stabilising this strategically vital region.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We are convinced that the time has also come to resolve the Middle East’s central issue: securing statehood for the Palestinian people in accordance with numerous UN resolutions. Almost a year ago, the Security Council endorsed a US-championed “peace plan” for Gaza – yet peace has not been achieved. Senior citizens, women, and children continue to lose their lives, and the humanitarian situation remains critical. The West Bank, for its part, is sliding further into crisis, as Israel expands settlement activity.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified If this trend continues, establishing a Palestinian state will become impossible – there simply will be no room left for it. Yet, in that scenario, Israel’s own security would also be under constant threat – a fact experts fully acknowledge. The UN, and all of us as member states, must take urgent and unconventional steps to reverse these trends in the Middle East and beyond.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified This applies not only to Palestine, but also to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan, and other African nations where conflicts continue to rage. Urgent measures are likewise needed to address the dire humanitarian situation in Cuba, which faces unprecedented pressure from its northern neighbour. We reaffirm our solidarity with the Cuban people and government.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We strongly urge the lifting of the naval blockade against the “Island of Freedom,” the removal of all trade restrictions, and the country’s removal from the long-discredited list of state sponsors of terrorism. These are merely the most glaring examples that demand the international community’s priority attention. But we cannot confine ourselves to them. The West’s power politics and double standards are destabilising the situation everywhere.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified In the Balkans, the European Union flagrantly disregards Security Council Resolution 1244 and pressures Serbia to accept the loss of Kosovo and to turn its back on its own history and the memory of its ancestors. Belgrade is being forced, in effect, to impose sanctions against Russia – offered in return the prospect of European integration, which everyone now recognises as illusory.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified In an attempt to unitarise Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbs are being pushed to surrender constitutional powers guaranteed by the Dayton Peace Agreement and by the UN Security Council. In the same spirit of disregard for international law, the reckless actions of the external sponsors of the Kiev regime pose a serious threat to international peace and security.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified For the sake of the utopian goal of containing Russia, the West has destroyed the European security system with its own hands and nurtured the Russophobic regime in Kiev. Now, realising the futility of their efforts, Europe is doing everything to prevent a peaceful settlement and to derail negotiations – a process many are interested in, including the Trump administration.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified The West continues the endless flow of weapons into Ukraine and helps the regime target drones and missiles at civilians and civilian infrastructure. In the West, they dream of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia. But those dreams, as has happened many times before, will lead the warmongers themselves to a strategic dead end. Colleagues, A year ago, we marked the 80th anniversary of the Victory over German Nazism and Japanese militarism.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Next week, on October 1, we will mark the 80th anniversary of the conclusion of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg. The historic verdict of the Court of Peoples – as the Nuremberg Tribunal is known – condemned Nazi criminals harshly and unequivocally, and outlawed and placed beyond the pale of morality the misanthropic ideology of Nazism. Yet 80 years on, not everyone has learned the lessons of Nuremberg.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Judging by the statements of their representatives, the ruling elites of many EU countries are clearly afflicted by the virus of racial superiority and are nurturing extremist, Russophobic ideas. They condone the leaders of the Ukrainian regime in Kiev as they honour inveterate war criminals and Nazi collaborators – individuals whose arms are up to their elbows covered in the blood of Russians, Jews, Belarusians, Ukrainians and people of other nationalities.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Almost the entire West votes here in this hall, year after year, against the Russia-sponsored resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism. Germany, Japan, and all NATO countries – many of them guilty of crimes against humanity during World War II – vote against it. This does not surprise us. But I would like to stress: the outcomes of World War II formed the foundation of the post-war world order and they are enshrined in the UN Charter.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified By ratifying this document, the former Axis states admitted their historical responsibility for the countless calamities caused to the world by Nazi ideology and practices. By bashfully turning a blind eye to the increasingly evident manifestations of Ukrainian Nazism, one imperils the very foundations of the UN-centric world order.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified While downplaying Nazi Germany’s responsibility for the genocide of the Soviet people and feeling no shame about Germany’s role as a primary sponsor of the Nazi regime in Kiev, Chancellor Merz declares that Germany must “once again” become the biggest military power in Europe. Do they realise in Berlin what “once again” means and where it can lead? Did the outcome of World War II teach you nothing?
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified The Ukrainian regime is openly overriding such cornerstones of the UN Charter as respecting human rights and freedoms for all with no discrimination as to race, gender, language or religion. There is no other country in the world but Ukraine where the law prohibits a language. The Russian language is banned in Ukraine. Using the Russian language is punishable, up to and including imprisonment.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified But the European Union, taking pride in its “European values,” seems to have sewn its mouth shut, with not a word of condemnation. All they say is Ukraine is helping to defend these very European values.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Inadvertently, one starts to think that both Nazism and the outrageous violations of the freedom of speech, information and faith by the Ukrainian regime actually form the core of these very “European values.” Having launched the special military operation in 2022 to defend the people of Donbass and Novorossiya from extermination by the Kiev regime, Russia continues to fight for their security and rights in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the UN Charter.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We will carry through our fight for the truth and justice: the goals of the special military operation will be achieved; threats to Russia’s security will be eliminated and peaceful life restored. It will happen despite any circumstances, including the inability of the current UN leaders to take the only right stance with regard to Ukraine, which is the defence of the principles of the UN Charter – not selectively but in their entirety, completeness and interconnectedness.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We expect that the new Secretary-General, who is to be elected by the end of the year, will rigorously adhere to their mandate and the principles of impartiality and neutrality stipulated by the Charter; that they will represent the entire international community rather than serve the interests of certain states; that they will not undermine the intergovernmental nature of the UN system or erode the prerogatives of the UN Security Council and its permanent members.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Our principled approach is that a reform of the Security Council cannot provide any extra seats to the Western countries – especially Germany and Japan – that have taken the path of militarisation and revanchism.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We advocate solely for the expansion of representation by Asia, Africa and Latin America and support the candidacies of Brazil and India for permanent seats while – and I want to stress this – the interests of the African continent shall be met with due account for the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Ladies and gentlemen, By pursuing its responsible foreign policy, Russia seeks to improve the international climate, in unity with our allies and strategic partners, including BRICS, the SCO, the EAEU, the CIS and the CSTO. We propose a uniting agenda, specific ideas and projects. International information security is a matter currently moving to the forefront. It is evident that the UN, rather than non-transparent and private mechanisms, must play the central role in this issue.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Last October in Hanoi, the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia’s initiative, was opened for signature. We welcome the launch of the global mechanism under the aegis of the UN for its implementation – the first permanent format in this area. The UN is vested with special responsibility due to the rapid development of AI technology. It is hard to dispute the fact that generally recognised rules of AI application can only be developed on an equal basis, with all countries involved.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We consider the launch of the Global Dialogue on AI Governance and the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence as steps in the right direction. China’s initiative to create the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organisation, backed by Russia, is another project of similar purpose. In the 1950s, the Soviet Union helped African, Asian and Latin American countries to break free from the shackles of colonial dependence.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Further democratisation of international affairs is impossible without eradicating the neo-colonial practices that persist to this day. The adoption of a General Assembly resolution declaring December 14 the International Day Against Colonialism in All Its Forms and Manifestations was a landmark event in this regard.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We will be glad to see supporters of the struggle against modern neo-colonial practices from all states at the 1st For the Freedom of Nations International Inter-Party Movement World Assembly that is taking place in Russia within a few months. Colleagues, It is only possible to secure a lasting peace by ending the dangerous rivalry between the largest global players. We can only achieve this by strictly adhering to the UN Charter and the principle of equal and indivisible security.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified Let me remind you that this principle means refraining from ensuring the security of one state at the expense of others; that it is unacceptable for any country or a group of countries or an organisation to claim dominance in security. This mainly applies to NATO, which seeks to spread its destructive influence far beyond the geography of its domain, including Southeast and Northeast Asia.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified The values of broad equal cooperation are the bedrock of the initiatives to build a Greater Eurasian Partnership and the security architecture across Eurasia, proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Yesterday here, in New York, Russia, Belarus and other like-minded states adopted a statement on the beginning of the work on the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century.
Matching Russian passage has not been identified	Cached English source — passage alignment not verified We call for everybody who is willing to become part of the new pancontinental architecture of peace and development to contribute to the success of this important project that will complement and harmonise the existing mechanisms in the spirit of the geopolitical realities of the emerging multipolar world. Thank you.
