The latest blatant example of this approach is the decision just taken by Berlin, Paris, and London through their national legislation to ‘extend’ restrictions on Iran that expire in October, which are subject to legal termination in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2231," Lavrov said.

To mitigate these risks, Russia stressed the importance of upholding all aspects of the UN Charter without exceptions.

This includes upholding principles such as the equal sovereignty of nations, refraining from interference in their domestic affairs, respecting territorial integrity, and recognizing the right of populations to self-determination, as highlighted by Lavrov.
