🌐 The world has entered a period of qualitative changes that will irreversibly reshape the structure of the international system and lead to a fairer balance in international affairs.
Over the past 100 years, humanity has learned several important lessons from conflicts and crises. One of them is a general understanding of the value of life on the planet and the notion that in the hands of humanity are forces of destruction that are catastrophic in scale. Their careless use can lead to the end of all life.
This common interest continues to unite leading countries in their desire to avoid global nuclear war and maintain the general contours of stability in international relations. However, this does not exclude regional and local military crises and conflicts.
The UN is a reflection of modern international relations and the main crises. The situation will not normalise until the new balance of power in the world becomes clear to everyone. The lack of a solid understanding of what such a balance should look like disorients both the apparatus of this organisation and many countries that are members of the UN General Assembly.
Once the new equilibrium is determined, the key states participating in this system will determine whether there is a need to reorganise the UN, reform it, writes Andrey Sushentsov, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.

Principles of Polycentricity and Security in a Changing World

🇺🇳 The Charter system today faces unprecedented challenges.
The tension between the multilateralism and normative aspirations for peace and development represented by the Charter system and the competitive practices of international politics has become a contradiction and possibly an antinomy – an irreconcilable difference.
Cold War II is more challenging and dangerous than the first, above all because of the threat to very existence of the Charter systems and its norms, Richard Sakwa writes.
