GCC: Adhering To UN Charter A Must For A Stable World

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) NEW YORK, June 26 (KUNA) -- The Gulf group at the United Nations on Thursday stressed adhering to the UN Charter as a "must" to ensure a more stable world.
Kuwaiti permanent envoy to the UN, Ambassador Tariq Al-Bannai, gave a speech at a UN General Assembly commemorative plenary meeting on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states, saying that instilling the values of sovereignty and equality among nations was a "cornerstone" for any just international system.
On June 26, 1945, the UN Charter was signed by 50 nations, establishing an organization dedicated to fostering peace, security, and human rights. Emphasizing the dignity of all individuals, the Charter aimed to prevent war, promote social progress, and uphold international law.
On this day, 80 years ago, the world came out of two devastating wars, looking forward for a more just and stable global system, in spite of growing threats stemming from armed conflicts, as well as the downward development process, and the stagnant state of the "United" body, he pointed out.
GCC countries believe in investing in the UN's capabilities as a platform for dialogue and understanding, along with empowering to play its role in preserving peace, sustaining development and bridging gaps amongst nations, the Ambassador noted. (end)
