Vladimir Putin at the 70th session of the UN General Assembly/ 28 сентября 2015
On the 28 of September 2015 President Vladimir Putin of
the Russian Federation addressed the general debate of the General Assembly’s
seventieth session.
Stressing the unique legitimacy, representation and
universality of the United Nations, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned
today that many of the crises facing the world have been exacerbated by
countries acting against sovereign States outside the UN Charter.
“We consider the attempts to undermine the authority
and legitimacy of the United Nations as extremely dangerous,” he told the
General Debate on the opening day of the high-level segment of the Assembly’s
70th annual session, citing United States sanctions against Russia over Ukraine
and calling for full support for the Syrian Government in its war against
terrorism.
In a wide-ranging speech in which he also proposed the
formation in accordance with the UN Charter of a broad international coalition
against terrorism and the harmonization of regional economic projects, Mr.
Putin emphasized the diversity of models among UN Member States and the vital
importance of respecting State sovereignty.
“Ensuring peace and regional and global stability
remains the key objective of the international community, with the UN at its
helm,” Mr. Putin declared. “We believe this means creating a space of equal and
indivisible security which is not for the select few, but for everyone.”
Turning to specific issues, he said aggressive foreign
interference that in the Middle East and North Africa has resulted in a
flagrant destruction of national institutions rather than bringing about
reforms, opening the way for tens of thousands of terrorists and extremists to
fill the vacuum under the banner of the so-called Islamic State.
“We should finally acknowledge that no one but
President (Bashar al-) Assad’s Armed Forces and Kurd militia are truly fighting
the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations in Syria.”
As current President of the Security Council, Russia
will convene a ministerial meeting to propose agreement on a resolution to
coordinate the actions of all the forces against the Islamic State and other
terrorist organizations based on the principles of the UN Charter, he added.

In terms of NATO’s military expansion President noted that post-Soviet countries were offered a false choice – either to be with the West, or
with the East.
“Sooner or later this logic of confrontation was bound
to spark off a grave geopolitical crisis,” he said. “This is exactly what happened
in Ukraine where the discontent of population with the current authorities was
used and a military coup was orchestrated from outside that triggered a civil
war as a result.”
He called for genuine consideration for the interests
and rights of the people in eastern Ukraine to guarantee that the country will
develop as an essential link in building a common space of security and
economic cooperation both in Europe and in Eurasia.
Mr. Putin also stressed the importance of ensuring
that UN Climate Change Conference in December in Paris is a success, noting
that Russia plans to reduce by 2030 greenhouse gas emissions to 70-75 per cent
of the 1990 level, and offering to cosponsor a special forum under the UN
auspices on depletion of natural resources, destruction of habitat and climate
change.
“Russia believes in the huge potential of the United Nations which
should help us avoid a new global confrontation and engage in strategic
cooperation,” he concluded. “Together with other countries, we will consistently
work towards strengthening the central coordinating role of the UN.”
