Russian FM Lavrov: Western exceptionalism is over with

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes that one should put an end to arrogant philosophy of Western superiority, exceptionalism and permissiveness.

“The West has clearly lost control of itself in an effort to vent its anger at Russia.

It has destroyed all institutions and rules it has created, including the inviolability of property,” Lavrov said, speaking at the 49th session of the UN Council on Human Rights.

Lavrov drew attention to the fact that “sovereign equality of states” was a key principle of the UN Charter and stressed that Russia was open to “equal and mutually respectful discussion on any issues.”
