"Cannot force international law": the UN recognized its powerlessness before Russia

The UN is said to continue to hope and expect Moscow to fulfill its obligations and approved a number of "decisive resolutions" that urge the Russians to comply with the laws. The United Nations does not have instruments or powers to force Russia to comply with international law. This was stated by the head of the UN General Assembly Dennis Francis during a press conference in New York.

"We act on the beliefs based on our values ​​and principles, and we hope that all member states of the United Nations will comply with the obligations they have taken on when entering the UN, one of which is, of course territorial integrity of other states, ”he said.

Dennis Francis added that the UN continues to hope and expects "that the Russians will fulfill their obligations", however, he doubts that the organization has enough opportunities and authority to force the Russian Federation to comply with the UN Statute and International Law. Francis also noted that the UN approved a number of decisive resolutions that urge Russia to comply with the law and remove their terrorists from the territory of Ukraine.

"I remember that I have inserted the word" immediately "in the resolution. It is (the aggression of the Russian Federation - ed. ) Is a fundamental and flashy violation of international law that we cannot put up with," Francis said. He stressed that Russia has created a "bad precedent" in Ukraine, and other countries may follow its example. It should be reminded that on September 6, CNN released the material, which states that the Russians systematically shoot Ukrainian prisoners of war.
