Security Council-United Nations Committed to Cooperation with Regional Bodies

[SAT]

United Nations Committed to Cooperation with Regional Bodies, Secretary-General Affirms as Eurasian, Central Asian Entities Brief Security Council

Before the Council was a concept note prepared for the meeting (document S/2016/867), in which the Russian Federation’s Council presidency for October explained that regional organizations were seen as increasingly valuable in seeking peaceful political solutions to emerging conflicts in their respective areas.  For that reason, the Council regularly held meetings on cooperation with the African Union, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union.  In that vein, today’s meeting would discuss how cooperation with the three Eurasian regional organizations could be strengthened in areas of common interest.

Some speakers, however, while welcoming cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, stressed that all entities involved must abide by Charter principles.  The representatives of Ukraine and the United States said that, in the case of Georgia and Ukraine, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Collective Security Treaty Organization had been unable to defend or advocate for the principle of territorial integrity.  The United Kingdom’s representative called for the application of standards to organizations cooperating with the United Nations.
The Russian Federation’s representative, speaking in his national capacity, said that if such criteria were to be applied, they should also apply to other regional organizations.  Given the important work that the three organizations before the Council were undertaking in a region fraught with threats, ties with them should be strengthened and the knowledge of their valuable cooperation disseminated.
The representatives of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan spoke in their capacities as Chairs of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Also speaking today were representatives of China, Japan, Uruguay, Angola, Spain, Egypt, Malaysia, New Zealand, France, Venezuela, Senegal, India, Iran, Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Something to think about??? Does this article sound like Russia is against the new order??? Or is Putin just trying to make adjustments so he can obtain more power???

Sometimes people sound like they are talking about getting rid of it, when actually they are just doing what Putin is doing, for their own motives.

in which the Russian Federation’s Council presidency for October explained that regional organizations were seen as increasingly valuable in seeking peaceful political solutions to emerging conflicts in their respective areas. 

Putin just doesn't like the fact democracy through the west has all the cards and is putting everything into weakening the west's hold.

stressed that all entities involved must abide by Charter principles.  The representatives of Ukraine and the United States said that, in the case of Georgia and Ukraine, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Collective Security Treaty Organization had been unable to defend or advocate for the principle of territorial integrity.  The United Kingdom’s representative called for the application of standards to organizations cooperating with the United Nations.
