MINSK, 24 June (BelTA) – The United Nations was built on the ruins of the worst and most destructive war of the 20th century for the sake of peace and development, Belarus' Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Yevgeny Shestakov said at an event in Minsk to mark the 80th anniversary of the UN Charter, BelTA has learned.
The deputy minister noted that Belarus was among the founders of the United Nations: “Despite the fact that 80 years ago Belarus did not have the status of an independent state, our country received full membership and actively participated in the activities of the organization, having its own representation and voting rights in the General Assembly.”
“This fact remains a historical pride for Belarusians and a symbol of the responsibility of our people for the fate of the world,” Yevgeny Shestakov said. The UN Charter principles suggest a code of conduct for states. Their observance by all ensures predictability and stability in international relations.
