Lukashists Try To Thwart UN Reform

Delegation of the regime found itself on the list of rogue countries.

The long-awaited global reform of the United Nations has finally been adopted, The Washington Post reports.

The reform was discussed over the weekend during the UN ‘Summit of the Future’ in New York, where, among others, Lukashenka's regime delegation took part.

The summit's final document, officially called the ‘Pact for the Future,’ was adopted by all UN member states and represents a 56-point global plan on such issues as poverty eradication, climate change mitigation, gender equality, peace building, protection of civil rights and others.

The Pact also represents the first multilateral concerted support for nuclear disarmament in more than a decade and the first universal agreement on international governance of artificial intelligence, notes The Washington Post.

In addition, the UN reform envisages strengthening the organisation's role in preventing military conflicts and expanding the UN Security Council to include representatives from Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

According to the UN press service, the adoption of the reform document was in doubt until the last moment. The atmosphere at the summit was so tense that UN Secretary General António Guterres made three prepared speeches.

The only country that tried to derail the adoption of the document was Russia, which was supported by Belarus and several other authoritarian countries.

‘Russia, supported by Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Nicaragua, Sudan, Sudan and Syria, attempted to introduce an amendment to the UN global reform project that would have rendered the reform meaningless. The amendment was a phrase that ‘the UN and its structures should not interfere in matters that are essentially under the domestic jurisdiction of any state.’

The Russian amendment was opposed by the vast majority of the world's countries, especially all 54 countries in Africa, which initiated the vote against the amendment, prompting applause in the hall, writes The Washington Post.
