"We see, and many see, in relation to the future, the idea that there are two poles, one centered in the US and one centered in China ... If we want a stable world, if we want a world in which peace can be sustained, in which development can be generalized, and in which - in the end - our values will prevail, we need to support multipolarity,"
"In my opinion, the basic responsibility for international peace and security lies with UN, lies with the Security Council,"
"Only the Security Council can adopt decisions binding on all, and no other body or other coalition can legally be required to have all member states comply with decisions on peace and security."
Global challenges cannot be solved by a single dominant power or by dividing the world into competing spheres of influence. Two poles centered in the US and China create risks to future stability. A stable world requires multipolarity to sustain peace, generalize development, and allow values to prevail. The basic responsibility for international peace and security resides with the UN Security Council, which alone can adopt decisions binding on all member states. No other body or coalition can legally compel universal compliance with decisions on peace and security. Reform of the Security Council is necessary to enhance UN effectiveness.
