MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. The Commonwealth of Independent States’ (CIS) members unanimously advocate for the formation of a fair multipolar world order based on universally recognized principles of international law and the central role of the UN, CIS Secretary-General Sergey Lebedev said.
"The countries of the Commonwealth are unanimous in advocating for the creation of a new architecture for international relations, a fair multipolar world order based on universally recognized principles of international law and the central role of the UN," he said at the international collective security forum.
The CIS operates in accordance with UN rules and also coordinates its activities with relevant specialized bodies, Lebedev said. "The UN remains the organization guiding our work," he noted.
When discussing a crisis in the international security system, this first of all refers to challenges and threats that have emerged as a result of certain countries openly disregarding fundamental international treaties in this sphere, the official added. He pointed out that unacceptable, force-based solutions to the most acute problems are increasingly being adopted without regard for international institutions and in the absence of proper mandates nowadays, adding that the practice of interfering in internal affairs, inciting civil unrest, and orchestrating color revolutions has become, in effect, a primary tool for imposing pseudo-democratic values.
The CIS will continue to promote the formation of a new security architecture based on ensuring equal and indivisible security for all states, prioritizing political and diplomatic tools for overcoming global and regional crises, Lebedev concluded.
