Bolivian leader Evo Morales urges to dissolve UN Security Council - media

Bolivian President Evo Morales has urged to stop the work of the UN Security Council as it is not meeting the goals of securing peace between states, the Bolivian ABI agency reports.

Saturday evening, Morales opened a meeting of the Group of 77 (G77) plus China in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz. According to the plans of the organizers, the final document of the summit should become the basis for the development of a new "agenda" of the UN.

"International organizations are required, which will contribute to the development of the world, destruction of the world hierarchies, and equality of states. Therefore, the Security Council must disappear," said Morales. According to him, instead of ensuring peace between peoples, the UN supported military actions and aggressions of "imperial powers" in order to acquire the resources of the countries harmed by intervention.

"Today, instead of the Security Council there is the Insecurity Council, the Council of imperial intervention," the agency quotes the words of the Bolivian leader. Earlier, Morales said that mankind should take immediate and urgent measures to save the "Mother Earth" and develop a new world order within the framework of the UN. He criticized the "imperial speculative model" of world development, which, according to him, had generated an institutional crisis, caused inequality and created an unfair power structure in international organizations, including the UN, IMF, WTO and others.

"We have reached the limit, it is necessary to take urgent decisions at the global level for the sake of saving the society, humanity and Mother Earth," the Bolivian leader said.

Evo Morales also invited Russia to join G77 saying that "to fulfill our tasks that benefit the world we urge Russia and other countries that are our brothers to join G77." He noted that if Russia decides to accept the invitation, the name of the bloc could be changed to G77 plus China and Russia.

The Group of 77 was established on June 15, 1964, by developing countries in order to promote their own economic interests. Originally it consisted of 77 members, now it consists of 133 states. Currently, G77 is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing countries operating in the framework of the UN and its bodies.
