The BRICS summit in Kazan marked the end of G7 dominance over the world. Anglo-Saxon rules for global relations will gradually be replaced by commitments made by all those that must now be respected. This revolution moves us back to the attempts made in 1899 by Russia and France to establish global law which were challenged by the Atlantic Conference and the duality of the United States and large Britain.

The XVI Extended BRICS Summit was held in Kazan, Russia on 22-24 October 2024. In addition to the 9 Heads of State and Government who are already members of the Organization, eleven more took part, and about 20 another countries joined.

This event culminates in a strategy initiated in 2009 by Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese president Hu Jintao. 4 men imagined an global relation based on the United Nations Charter that would enable the improvement of any country. They did not mean to argue the Western imperialism of the G8 (whose Russia was a associate until the coup d'état on Western Maidan), but to research another road, without the Anglo-Saxons.

Vladimir Putin played a central function in creating this corps of economical cooperation, as did Tsar Nicholas II in the invention of global law in 1899. He organised the first summit in Yekaterinburg, even though Russia was represented by president Dmitri Medvedev.

In an interview on the occasion of the Kazan Summit Vladimir Putin, citing the words of Prime Minister Narando Modi, confirmed that “BRICS is not anti-Western but is simply a non-Western organization”.

In the final declaration, the Heads of State or Government raised 4 separate themes:

Multilateralism;

Cooperation for stableness and security;

Economic and financial cooperation;

Interpersonal exchanges.

Multilateralism

Having noted that, regardless of the Western centres of power, fresh centres were created, they confirmed their attachment to the Charter of the United Nations, which was being created by all but the United arabian Emirates, which were not yet independent. They then call for improvement of the United Nations and its agendas so that its institutions adapt to today's planet and integrate fresh powers. If they do not indicate any date of improvement of the safety Council and the IMF, they set a horizon for 2025 to accomplish the improvement of the planet Trade Organisation (WTO) and the Board of Directors of the global Bank for Reconstruction and improvement (BIRD).

They consider it illegal to “unilateral means of coercion” or “sanctions” adopted outside the safety Council, whether political or economic. They support the work of the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Climate improvement (IPCC), but do not comment on the lessons learned from it by Western countries. They say they are profoundly afraid about the attempts to link safety with the climate change programme. Furthermore, in the text (section 83), they condemn the usage of the climate pretext to introduce unilateral, repressive and discriminatory protection measures. Furthermore, they advance cooperation in the fight against greenhouse gases in accordance with Article 6 of the Paris Agreements (§ 85). Let us remind you that the Russian Academy of Sciences rejects the western anthropocentric explanation of climate change.

They undertake to advance and defend human rights, including the right to development, and fundamental freedoms within the framework of the principles of equality and common respect. Similarly, they undertake to intensify the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and associated intolerance, as well as discrimination on the grounds of religion, or belief, and all their current forms in the world, including the worrying trends in the emergence of hatred speech.

Cooperation for stableness and security

A common position has been agreed in the face of ongoing conflicts, without referring to safety Council Resolution 2686 (2023) (condemning acts of intolerance and hatred) and UN General Assembly Resolution 46/182 (1991) (on emergency humanitarian assistance). They besides reiterate the request to respect legitimate safety concerns for all countries.

Below is simply a long list of reviews.

– Gaza (section 30) They item the urgent request to establish an immediate, global and permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and prisoners of both parties who are illegally detained, and to supply sustainable and extended humanitarian assistance and to put an end to any aggressive action. However, they support a two-state solution (originally Lord Peel's colonial plan) which seems to them the only possible peace solution.

— Lebanon (§ 31-32) Condemn “intended terrorist act” consisting of an detonation of audible and radio signals on 17 September 2024. Similarly, they condemn the attacks on UN personnel, the threat to their security, and ask the Hebrew State to immediately cease these activities in Lebanon. They are in favour of strict compliance with Resolution 1701 (2006), assuming that it applies equally to Israel, which must so go beyond the "blue line" (demarkation line).

– Yemen (§ 33) They advocate freedom of navigation, but alternatively of condemning Ansar Allah, as Western countries do, they intend to address the causes of the conflict and advance dialog and the peace process under the auspices of the UN.

– Syria (§ 34) They insist that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria be strictly respected. They condemn the illegal presence of abroad armed forces, leading to an increased hazard of large-scale conflict in the region. They stress that illegal “unilateral sanctions” seriously aggravate the suffering of the Syrian people. There are besides (Article 43) against the Israeli business of the Syrian hills of Golan.

– Iran (§ 35 and 37) They condemn the attack on the diplomatic office of the muslim Republic of Iran in Damascus. They remind that the JCPOA agreement has been confirmed by the safety Council and the United States cannot retreat from it as they have done.

— Ukraine (§ 36) They stress that all countries should act in accordance with the objectives and principles of the United Nations Charter in its entirety (which gives reason for Russia's explanation of the conflict). Noting with satisfaction the appropriate proposals for mediation and good services (by China, South Africa and India) to resolve the conflict peacefully through dialog and diplomacy.

— Sudan (§ 40) Condemn the attack by president Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan on the residence of the Head of Mission of the United arabian Emirates on 29 September 2024; attack comparable to Israel's attack on Iranian diplomatic missions in Syria. They call for an immediate, permanent and unconditional ceasefire.

BRICS opposes the return to the past: it seems that the concept of civilian war, which was a key part of president George Bush Jr.'s speech, was definitely forgotten. This is no little or more than an allegedly informed form of old, violent discourse from the 1930s to 1945s: to make the West survive, there is no another way but to destruct others.

Comments on this summit

This summit took place at a time erstwhile the planet witnessed direct Israeli cultural cleansing, first in Gaza and then in the south of Lebanon. At the same time, a peculiar Russian military operation is ongoing to apply safety Council Resolution 2202 in Ukraine. The Ukrainian army will not last the winter, and all Western “unilateral means of coercion” failed. I am sorry, but erstwhile it comes to the civilian War, the Arabs in Gaza and the Russians in Ukraine are threatening the West and must be eliminated.

Participation in BRICS so seems to be a revolt against the Anglo-Saxon order of the world. Only the retreat of Brazilian president Luiza Inácio Luli da Silva, who did not dare to come to Kazan and was represented by his abroad minister Mauro Vieira, can be a disappointment to us. Nevertheless, Brazil is simply a founding associate of BRICS and is chair of the fresh improvement Bank. It is presided over by erstwhile president Dilma Youssef, who was overthrown in a distant operation led by the United States and Israel.

Likewise, it should be noted that Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman at the last minute refused to side with 1 of the camps and go to Kazan, even though his preferred ally, The United arabian Emirates, is presently a associate of BRICS and its incumbent was President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Russia decided to organise this summit in Kazan in the capital of Tatarstan, as this dynamic city illustrates both Muslim integration with the Russian Federation and Moscow's ability to delegate its powers.

From an economical point of view, the summit has accelerated the dedollarisation of global trade. Tokens of BRICS digital currency, the way to a common taxation office, the amicable court for economical disputes between associate States or the thought of grain exchange are being explored. The anticipation of establishing an independent regulation and cross-border deposit infrastructure “BRICS Clear” was besides discussed. Finally, BRICS will accelerate the improvement of a payment card strategy called "BRICS PAY", which was presented at the summit in Kazan. Its action seems alternatively classic: the "BRICS PAY" card should let you to set payments in national currency utilizing the QR code utilizing a direct debit from an electronic wallet powered by an application of the same name, by attaching a Visa, Mastercard or MIR bank card. The problem is maintaining full sovereignty while participating in collective currency.

The summit, especially at political level, in the presence of Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, showed that BRICS rejects the changing Western principles imposed by the G7 Group and promotes respect for a given word, that is, global law. Countries of the “global South” (as opposed to the “West” collective) do not gotta comply with the commitments and agreements signed by the Anglo-Saxons and grossly violated by them. The West believes that in the name of democracy, the elected head of state or government may not feel bound by the signature of those who preceded it, while another states, whether it is non-liberal or dictatorial in their eyes, have this duty. For example, Donald Trump withdrew from the JCPOA (Iranian atomic agreement) which had long negotiated his predecessor Barack Obama. Either Joe Biden did not consider himself bound by the 2 papers that his friend Barack Obama signed, or the Istanbul Agreement (1999), or Resolution 2202 (2015) on Minsk Agreements. Therefore, he claims that Russia invaded Ukraine and violated the United Nations Charter, while many subsequent texts show that Russia is the only 1 who adheres to all its rules as to the jota.

The IMF has just revised its calculation methods and placed Russia's GDP in purchasing power parity 4th behind China, the United States and India. So he abruptly rose by 23% and left 48° where he lived. However, beyond the economical reality (BRICS accounts for 37% of global GDP and 45% of humanity, while G7 accounts for only 29% of GDP and 10% of the planet population), this summit opened the eyes of many blind people. The planet has changed. It is no longer dominated by Washington and London.
