At the UN General Assembly general debate ends. The delegates of the 69th session by more than 130 heads of state and government, 60 ministers of foreign affairs. Speaking on Saturday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov suggested the adoption of a declaration of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, non-recognition of a coup d’etat as a method of regime change.
On the way to New York Lavrov told reporters that the tone of his speech to the delegations from 193 countries will depend on the degree of hardness of criticism of Western partners to Russia. Already on the first day of the general debate of the stiffness off scale. President Barack Obama put the “Russian aggression in Europe” on a par with the threats posed by the jihadist group “Islamic State” (IG) and the deadly Ebola virus.
This theme is developed in Obama his Saturday address to the Americans. Calling the United States “a constant in an uncertain world”, he said that the United States demonstrate leadership in a number of problems facing humanity. To them, he again took the effort to unite the world in the face of “Russian aggression” in Ukraine, the fight against the IG in Iraq and Syria and opposition to Ebola in West Africa.
So sharpen speech Lavrov was quite expected. United States and its allies went for the desire to dominate, the policy of ultimatums, the revival of archaic thinking of the block based on the barrack discipline and flawed logic of the “friend or foe».
«The Western alliance led by the United States, speaking advocate of democracy, rule of law and human rights in individual countries, in the international arena with acts directly opposite positions, rejecting the UN Charter the democratic principle of the sovereign equality of States and trying to decide for everyone that is good, and that – evil – the minister said. – Washington has declared openly its right to use military force unilaterally and anywhere to defend its own interests. Military intervention has become the norm, even in spite of the fact that all police operations that have been made in recent years, the United States ended in tears ».
Lavrov recalled nasty blow to the stability of the international system: the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Iraq, the attack on Libya, failure in Afghanistan. Only through intensive diplomatic efforts have been prevented aggression against Syria. All this gives the impression that the purpose of the color revolutions and other projects change undesirable regimes is to provoke chaos and instability.
Today the victim of such a policy was Ukraine. The United States and the European Union have become blindly justify any action breakaway Kiev authorities being on the violent suppression of the part of the people who rejected attempts to impose on Ukraine unconstitutional orders, wanted to defend their rights in their native language, culture and history. It is an aggressive attack on the rights of those living in the Crimea forced to make a choice in favor of self-determination. “It was a completely free choice, whatever invented those who primarily bear the blame for the internal conflict in Ukraine”, – said Lavrov.
He said that nothing has been done to establish and punish the perpetrators of the bloody events in the Maidan, in the massive loss of life in Odessa, Mariupol and other regions of Ukraine. Deliberately downplaying the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the actions of the Ukrainian army in the south-east of the country. Contrary to the UN Security Council resolution 2166 is delayed to conduct a thorough and independent investigation into the collapse of the Malaysian airliner over Ukrainian territory.
By the way, as reported by “NG” in the Malaysian delegation, Kuala Lumpur is going to ask the UN to send peacekeepers to the place of the crash.
«Malaysia are extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the Ukrainian government has not yet made a promise to provide secure access of investigators at the crash site of the liner. The position of the Ukrainian government makes us regret “- said the source.
The UN peacekeepers must ensure that an international team of investigators will have access to the wreck of the liner. After all, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatsenyuk on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly informed Malaysians that the Kiev authorities, despite the truce, can not provide security at the crash site of the liner, as this region allegedly shelled militia. Lavrov confirmed that Russia is sincerely interested in restoring peace in Ukraine is ready to continue to actively support the promotion of a political settlement. “But it should be clear that we do it for the sake of peace, tranquility and well-being of the Ukrainian people, and not to appease someone’s ambitions”, – he said.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that as a condition for the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union in 1933, Washington demanded that Moscow guarantees non-interference in the internal affairs of the United States and obligations not to take any action to change the political and social structure of America. Then in Washington feared the revolutionary virus, and such guarantees have been secured on the basis of reciprocity. Perhaps it makes sense to play the then claim the American government on a universal scale, said Lavrov. “Why not adopt a declaration of the General Assembly on non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, non-recognition of a coup d’etat as a method of regime change? – He asked those present. – It’s time to completely eliminate from international communication attempts of illegal pressure on some of the others. Senseless and counterproductive unilateral sanctions are evident on the example of the American embargo against Cuba ».
With regard to the fight against terrorism, Lavrov said that it should be based on the solid ground of international law. In Syria, it should be built in cooperation with the Syrian government, which has clearly stated its willingness to do so. Two hours before his speech, Lavrov met with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, who said that even if Washington informs Damascus airstrikes on the positions of the IG, it does not mean that Syria commends the United States. According to him, the United States plans three years to strike militant positions, so the discussion of this issue should be taken up by the UN Security Council.
In conclusion, Lavrov said that the United Nations, created on the ruins of World War II, comes in the year of his seventieth birthday. Therefore, all countries are obliged to celebrate the anniversary of the Great Victory, to pay tribute to those killed in the name of freedom and the right of every people to determine their own destiny. “The lessons of that terrible war, as the whole course of events in today’s world, you want to combine efforts to forget about the unilateral interests of the national electoral cycle, when it comes to dealing with global threats to all mankind, – he said. – Must not be allowed to prevail over national egoism collective responsibility ».
