MINSK, 28 May (BelTA) - Sanctions imposed outside the framework of the UN Charter must be eradicated as a phenomenon, Belarus’ Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Aleksei Panferov said at UN Security Council meeting during an open debate on Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered Multilateral System, BelTA has learned.

He stressed that Belarus firmly adheres to the principles of sovereign equality of states, non-interference in internal affairs and the peaceful settlement of disputes.

“Sanctions imposed outside the framework of the UN Charter must be eradicated as a phenomenon. We express solidarity with all countries that have become victims of such policies. We would especially emphasize the need for the immediate lifting of all restrictive measures and the end of the economic and financial blockade of Cuba,” Aleksei Panferov said.
