The document calls on international parliamentary organisations and national parliaments to cooperate in addressing the most significant challenges facing humanity.
Chair of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Grigory Karasin was the rapporteur on the matter.
According to the Senator, the document was adopted ahead of the International Day of Parliamentarism celebrated on 30 June, in keeping with the relevant resolution approved by the UN General Assembly.
“The Federation Council notes that the system of international relations created as a result of the Great Victory won by the USSR and its allies in the Second World War, with the United Nations Organisation being the central element thereof, has made it possible to lay the legal foundations for a modern, fair, multipolar world order. We express a resolute protest against the West’s policy of falsifying history, rehabilitating Nazism, glorifying its adherents, and pulling down or dismantling monuments to Soviet soldiers who liberated the world from Nazism,” Grigory Karasin said.
The document voices concern over the destructive course pursued by a number of states belonging to the collective West, which includes supplying the Kiev regime with weapons and the militarisation of Europe, a course that threatens humanity with a new world war.
The statement expresses certainty in and intent for the further expansion of cooperation and strengthening of mutual understanding with interparliamentary organisations in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Arab countries.
“The Federation Council declares that parliamentary diplomacy is still highly important as an effective tool for promoting a dialogue between states and peoples, especially in critical situations,” the document states.
It is also noted that the Russian Federation senators unconditionally condemn the policy of illegitimate sanctions against parliamentarians and attempts to block the activities of lawmakers or their delegations at international parliamentary organisations.
The statement will be sent to the United Nations Organisation, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, the Arab Parliament, the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament, the MERCOSUR Parliament, the Central American Parliament, the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union, the African Parliamentary Union, the Pan-African Parliament, the Parliamentary Union of OIC Member States, the Asian Parliamentary Assembly, the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly, the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum, and the parliaments of foreign states.
