‘Pact for the Future’ Shows UNGA Has Become Tool to Ramrod West’s Interests
The United Nations General Assembly pushed through the Pact for the Future on September 22. Russia advised against adopting what it called “a raw and non-consensual text," and then attempted to introduce an amendment to the pact, but the effort was voted down. | By and large, the UN General Assembly has become a tool used by the West to promote its interests, Igor Shatrov, head of the Expert Council of Russia’s Strategic Development Fund, told Sputnik. 💬 “Most of the decisions that are made at the level of the General Assembly proceed from the position that Western countries adhere to,” he noted. This explains why the Russia-proposed amendment to the Pact for the Future adopted at the opening of the two-day Summit of the Future at UNGA based on “the principle of non-interference in matters within the domestic jurisdiction of a state” drew a negative response, he explained.
