The party’s press service told socialbites.ca that the leader of the Fair Russia – For Truth party, Sergei Mironov, advocates relocating the UN headquarters in favor of a more neutral state. According to him, BRICS member states can be considered as a possible option.
“UN headquarters should be relocated to another neutral and civilized country where human rights and the rights of nations are respected. For example, in one of the BRICS countries. Otherwise, the activities of the UN, which is officially the main international organization, will very soon be paralyzed and turn into a meaningless Anglo-Saxon gang, ”Mironov said.
As the head of A Just Russia – For Truth noted, such a decision concerns the background of the situation around the ban on entry into the United States of Russian media representatives who were supposed to accompany Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the UN. . He also added that not granting visas to journalists seemed particularly cynical.
“What can we say about journalists if the Americans do not issue visas to diplomats and diplomatic missions? Characteristically, the authorities of the country, where they are proud of freedom of speech and the right to self-expression, try to shut the Russian media with special cynicism. It is clear, however, that the infamous First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution only applies to the United States and, in some cases, its vassals.”
The BRICS officially includes five permanent members – Brazil, China, Russia, India and South Africa. Current membership candidates are Argentina, Algeria and Iran. According to BRICS representatives, many more countries have expressed their desire to join the group, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
