NEW DELHI, June 23. /TASS/. The BRICS group of countries must play a key role in shaping a fair architecture of international relations, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu has said. He noted that the security of the group's countries is under threat, and under current conditions, it is essential to prevent the replacement of the international legal system with a "rules-based order."
"In the current international environment, the security of the BRICS countries is constantly under threat," Shoigu stated, speaking at a meeting of high-level BRICS representatives overseeing security issues. "The central coordinating role of international organizations, led by the UN, has been effectively reduced to zero. Individual countries are consistently ignoring or violating UN Security Council resolutions. The WTO is failing to protect participants in international trade. When the coronavirus pandemic peaked, the World Health Organization promptly registered vaccines only from 'select' countries. The activities of the World Food Program are biased," the Russian Security Council Secretary stated. He cited the fact that "commitments to Russia under the Black Sea Initiative have never been fulfilled." Shoigu also noted that "the OPCW is politicizing the results of investigations into undesirable countries."
