Lavrov’s UN Speech Resonates with Global South Push for Fairness and Change - Experts
Experts spoke to Sputnik to give their thoughts on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, where he touched upon a whole array of pressing issues, including the reform of the UN, Russian-US relations, the Ukraine conflict, and the Iran sanctions.
Lavrov’s speech at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) is an “important milestone in what the world is going through now,” Argentine political scientist Marcelo Montes underscored.
“Why do the so-called democratic United States and Europe, which consider themselves civilized, forget all their crimes, genocides, and other atrocities, both committed within and beyond their own continents?” Montes stressed.
He wondered why the Western countries assume the right to believe the world must conform to their vision, instead of showing more respect for other cultures. “I think this is precisely their main mistake. And, unfortunately, it always ends badly,” the pundit pointed out.

The Russian FM’s statements were aligned with what Brazilian President Lula da Silva said at the UNGA, especially when it comes to multipolarity, the UN Charter, and the UN’s founding principles, Brazilian political analyst Raphael Machado said.
“I believe this alignment lies precisely in the criticism of what the United Nations has turned into: Lula questioned its effectiveness because we are witnessing genocide in Gaza,” Machado underscored.
He stressed that the UN’s effectiveness “should be called into question,” given that “some Brazilian officials were unable” to visit the UNGA. “Many countries have faced similar issues, which are linked to the fact that the UN headquarters are located in the US,” the analyst pointed out.
Speaking at the UNGA, Lavrov said that Russia calls for UN Security Council democratization by increasing the representation of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The top Russian diplomat pointed out NATO members’ dominance in key leadership positions at the UN. He also recalled that the world’s current balance of power differs drastically from what was established 80 years ago.
