Sun Lei, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, spoke at the Sixth Committee of the General Assembly on the 23rd under the topic “Report of the Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations and on the Strengthening of the Role of the Organization”, stressing the importance of defending the Charter of the United Nations. He said that the Charter of the United Nations is a solid foundation of contemporary international law, has the highest effect in the international law system, and is the fundamental principle for handling international relations. Currently, the international situation has become mixed and mixed. It is more urgent and necessary than ever to maintain an international system with the United Nations at its core and an international order based on international law and to ensure that the purposes and principles of the Charter are respected and implemented. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo trial. All parties should learn from history and work together to protect the hard-won peace results and post-war order. Sun Lei said that true multilateralism should be practiced. No matter how big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, all nations are equal. International matters should be discussed and handled by everyone, and the fate of the world should be jointly controlled by all countries. Major powers, in particular, should take the lead in abiding by the Charter and clearly oppose unilateralism. China opposes unilateral sanctions that are not authorized by the Security Council, and reaffirms that Security Council sanctions should aim at promoting the political settlement of relevant issues, be guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter, presuppose exhaustion of other peaceful means, and minimize their impact on ordinary people and third countries.
