It is absolutely groundless to consider the Russian Federation a member of the UN or its Security Council: experts named the arguments

Moreover, there is no other state that would enter the family of UN member states without observing the procedure provided by the Organization's Charter.

/span> of Ukraine at the request received from the Verkhovna Rada, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recognized the absence of documents that would testify to the acquisition of the status of a member of the United Nations by the Russian Federation, and, in its turn, submitted request to the UN with the requirement to provide the following documents. About this in his material for ZN.UA “The biggest geopolitical scam of the 20th century: why Russia's presence in the UN is groundless” write the former ambassador of Ukraine to the UN Volodymyr Yelchenko and the co-founder of the Initiative Group to Expel the Russian Federation from the UN Maxim Baryshnikov.

“The documents, the content of which became to our knowledge, they testify: from the very beginning of the procedure for the Russian Federation to join the UN, there were numerous substitutions of concepts, manipulations and disregard for UN procedural norms,” ​​the authors note.

The provisions of Article 3 of the UN Charter provide that the original members of the United Nations are the states:

  • that took part in the Conference in San Francisco (1945) on the creation of an international organization   or
  • signed the United Nations Declaration of January 1, 1942 ( Washington);
  • signed and ratified the UN Charter in accordance with the provisions of Article 110 of the UN Charter.

Currently The Russian Federation does not meet any of the above requirements, the authors note. In particular, the RSFSR was not a participant in the 1945 Conference or a signatory in 1942. 

A separate obstacle for the Russian Federation is the requirement to ratify the Statute UN. As you know, the Soviet Union submitted a certificate of ratificationOn October 24, 1945, becoming the 29th country to deposit it in accordance with Article 110 of the UN Charter, due to which the Charter itself began to operate. And now October 24 is celebrated in the worldas UN Day. The letters of ratification of the BRSR and the Ukrainian SSR were also submitted (The Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian SSR ratified the UN Charter on August 22, 1945). Meanwhileneither the RSFSR (due to lack of grounds for this), nor the Russian Federation never ratified the UN Charter, due to which it isnot mandatory for this country, which is quite normal and characteristic span>non-member countries, the authors of the article note.

Article 4 of the UN Charter allows other states to become members of the UN under the following conditions:

< ul>

  • a peace-loving state that undertakes to abide by  of the Charter of the United Nations and which, in the opinion of the Organization, can and seeks to fulfill these obligations;
  • reception is carried out by resolution of the UN General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council. “Both of these conditions have never been fulfilled by the Russian Federation, and the first part of them cannot be fulfilled at all today, since, in accordance with the provisions of part 4 of Article 2 of the UN Charter, UN members are obliged to refrain from the threat of force or its use against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, – it is said in the material. – Alsothere are currently no traces of votes or documents on compliance with the second part of the requirements for UN member states.   insteadthere are a number of resolutions that, based on the votes of the Russian Federation in the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council, have been thwarted, as is well demonstrated in the Security Council Veto Research Report of October 19, 2015″. 

    In view of the above, it is absolutely groundless to consider the Russian Federation a country member of the UN or its Security Council, concluded the authors of the article. Noother state, whichwould enter the family of UN member states without complying with the stipulatedAccording to the UN Charter, order does not exist.
