Russian envoy to United Nations Security Council (UNSC)

UNITED NATIONS: A Russian envoy has told the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that some states are trying to "monopolise the international order or impose their own values on the rest of humanity".

"What is even more regretful is the attempts to present the ideology elaborated by separate groups of states as a 'guiding light' for the entire humanity," Anna Evstigneeva, deputy permanent representative of Russia to the UN, said at the UNSC briefing on the Maintenance of International Peace and Security, Xinhua news agency reported.

"Such 'values' are then promoted as a counterweight to all the other views on the world order and configuration of sovereign states," she said, adding that "all those who disagree will be confronted with sanctions or even use of force." (IANS)
