Joe Biden will give a speech at the United Nations in which he will show that the invasion of Ukraine violates the principles of the UN Charter

American President Joe Biden will deliver, on Wednesday, a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, in which he will show that Moscow’s war against Ukraine violates the principles of the UN Charter.

In New York, he will have a first meeting with the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss and will participate in a summit aimed at helping nations fight disease.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Biden would not use his speech to argue that Russia should be removed from the UN Security Council, where it is one of five permanent members. , having the right to veto any security resolution.

He noted that Biden will urge all nations to see that Russia’s war against Ukraine is a violation of the 1945 UN Charter, signed by countries that fought the Axis Powers in World War II.

“We, the peoples of the United Nations, determined to free future generations from the scourge of war which, twice in the course of a human life, has caused untold suffering to mankind, to reaffirm our faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and value of the human person, in the equality of rights of men and women, as well as of large and small nations, to create the conditions necessary to maintain justice and respect the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law, to promote social progress and better living conditions in a greater freedom, and to these ends to practice tolerance and live in peace with one another, as good neighbors, to join forces for the maintenance of international peace and security, to accept principles and establish methods to guarantee that the armed force will not be used only in the common interest, let’s use international institutions to promote your economic and social progress turor of the peoples, we have decided to join our efforts for the realization of these objectives”, the UN charter states.

“This is a message that every country, regardless of how they feel about Russia, Ukraine, the United States, everyone should be able to rally around this basic proposition: you cannot conquer your neighbor’s territory by force, and peace will come soonest. and more decisively if Russia abandons that effortSullivan said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says the West wants to destroy Russia, that economic sanctions imposed on Moscow in response to the conflict are tantamount to a declaration of economic war, and that Russia will build ties with other powers such as China and India.

The war in Ukraine was necessary because the expansion of the US-led Western military alliance posed an existential threat to Russia, Putin said.

But Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Putin last week that this was not the time for war, and Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed concern about the situation last week when the two leaders met.

Sullivan said that every country should make a case against Russia’s war. “They can do it publicly if they want, they can do it privately if they want, but sending that clear and unmistakable message to Moscow right now is the most important thing we can do collectively to bring peace to that region“.
