The international system is evolving toward a more just, equitable, and representative multipolar world, opening up new prospects for national development and mutually beneficial cooperation.

The great victory of peace-loving nations united against Nazism, fascism, and militarism determined the course of world history and created conditions for a stable international relations system that safeguards the peaceful development of humanity. Member States call on us to remember the heroic deeds of the peoples of all countries and the historical lessons of World War II.
As a unique intergovernmental organization, the United Nations has carried out effective work to maintain peace and security, promote economic and social development, and safeguard human rights, and has promoted necessary cooperation.
