Voices are raised globally to eliminate unilateral coercive measures running counter to all principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the international law.

During the informal plenary meeting of the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the UN convened to observe the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures that falls on December 4, representatives from several countries including the DPRK, Russia, China and Iran condemned the US and its vassal forces for their acts of hostility undermining the sovereignty, and rights to existence and development of sovereign states. They called upon the international community to firmly reject and object to unlawful unilateral coercive measures running counter to the principles of sovereign equality, non-intervention and respect for self-determination enshrined in the UN Charter.

Stating that unilateral coercive measures are incompatible with peace and development of mankind as they violate human dignity and rights, and impede socio-economic development and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals by developing countries, they demanded the unconditional elimination of such measures.

Russian Foreign Ministry also issued a press statement noting that unilateral coercive measures of the West pose a serious challenge to the building of a just and equal multi-polar world and affirmed Russia’s continued commitment to the struggle against unlawful unilateral coercive measures in concerted efforts with responsible partner states so as to establish a just global structure free from coercion and pressure.

All countries committed to safeguarding of world peace and security will have to stand firm against the West-imposed unilateral coercive measures if they are to build an equal and multipolar world.
