MOSCOW, April 16. /TASS/. The United Nations is the world’s only universal international organization and there is no alternative to it, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily posted on its website on Monday.

"Everybody is following high-profile cases and the United Nations is addressing thousands of applied matters. As a matter of fact, there is no other such a universal organization in the world. If it did not exist, it should be set up. There is no alternative to the United Nations," he said.

Despite speculation that the United Nations is losing its significance, it continues to work resolving many problems that are "out of the public eye," he stressed.
