MOSCOW, February 4. /TASS/. The historic Yalta Conference, which helped establish a stable system of international law, can’t be replicated now, but the spirit of the 1945 summit is more relevant now than ever, Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said.

"The stable system of international law that emerged from the Yalta Conference has been dismantled, primarily by the US," she wrote in a blog post dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the conference. "But today, the spirit and meaning of that conference are more needed than ever. At the same time, I fully understand that a literal repetition of the Yalta format is impossible today. The world has changed dramatically."

According to the blog post on the Federation Council website, new political, economic and military power centers have emerged since then, along with new international organizations, representing the aspirations, approaches and interests of dozens of countries around the world. They are BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Eurasian Economic Union and many others.

"The world majority fundamentally rejects any claims to global hegemony. It should be obvious to everyone and, I think, even to the Anglo-Saxons: The solution to the pressing problems facing humanity can only be found through the collective efforts of the entire international community. But they do not want to admit the obvious," Matviyenko said.

She praised the UN - which emerged from the Yalta Conference agreements - as a vital platform for constructive international cooperation.

"At that time, the world for the first time received a fairly effective tool for ensuring collective security and fostering cooperation between all countries, which, I believe, still has no alternatives. All we have to do is to follow the UN Charter, execute it. And not selectively, but in its entirety," the lawmaker said.

The politician said she believes that the world is embroiled in a confrontation between those who uphold international law and those who no longer find the UN Charter satisfactory and believe they can follow their own rules, the ones crafted by the Western community.
