... abandoned the “two states for two peoples” formula, which, in accordance with UN Security Council’s resolutions, underpinned the international effort in the Palestinian-Israeli settlement. Like the issue of Jewish settlements, the status of Jerusalem is by and large a

... place in the world will be rapid and dramatic - revisionism by its nature does not imply sudden movements.

Question:
Can I touch upon something you said there, the resolutions that were put forward by Russia twice as well, rejected, vetoed by the US. Do you think that was because Washington didn't agree what was in those resolutions, or was ...
For more than 30 years, Washington has failed to build a just order, which is why we are now experiencing unprecedented crises
The wars in Ukraine and in Gaza are very different; yet, they are definitely linked as two flashing indicators of how the change in the world order is proceeding. Regrettably but unsurprisingly, the relatively peaceful previous ...
... between Russia and the West, there is no constructive interaction on this issue, and the work of the WG is actually undermined. A similar situation is taking place within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – a specialized agency of the United Nations. Although ITU deals with purely technical issues, this organization has been crippled by politicization of its efforts and discrimination of the Russian side (refusal to appoint Russian representatives to leadership positions in various investigation commissions and advisory groups, revocation of entry visas, etc.).

aid delivered across the front lines to the north-west of the country, providing Syrians with food, medical supplies and other supplies to thousands of those in need. The UN notes that the route of humanitarian aid deliveries, which runs through the line of contact, is quite dangerous, as it passes through areas in which hostilities continue.

Cyberspace is increasingly becoming a major area of confrontation in the U.S.-Russia relations.

The coming period will be the time for defining a new power base of the order, and it is still difficult to say which powers and to what extent will become part of it.
It is important that the great powers of the present time - the USA, Russia, China and India - are not close or, moreover, united in terms of values and understanding of the basic principles of internal order. So far, the biggest problem is the behaviour of the United States and inpidual countries of Western Europe, which, due to their internal values, are pursuing an aggressive ...

Similar stories can be told about almost any of the multilateral institutions, where the membership of the “older” states of the “golden billion” is combined with the rest of the world.
