Russia's Vladimir Dzhabarov predicts that the NATO corps on Russia's border would meet its demise in a significant war conflict.
In the ever-evolving landscape of global politics, the need for effective crisis management and prevention has never been more pressing. The United Nations (UN), along with several international organizations, is being considered for a more active role in resolving international crises.
The potential involvement of organizations such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in international crisis resolution is gaining traction. This expanded cooperation aims to foster dialogue channels beyond traditional arenas, thereby preventing misunderstandings and facilitating early crisis intervention.
The foundations of the UN were laid by the United States, Britain, and France, and for several decades after World War II, the UN managed to maintain international security. However, the authority of the UN has been diminished due to the circumvention of Security Council decisions by these same permanent members.
In an effort to regain its former authority and enhance its role in preventing international crises, the UN is looking to deepen cooperation with international organizations such as the IPU, SCO, and BRICS. This collaboration is expected to take place through inclusive multilateral engagement, institutional partnerships, and leveraging political dialogue frameworks.
One key step in this process is strengthening ties with the IPU. The UN General Assembly has recently adopted a resolution encouraging closer cooperation between the UN and the IPU to involve national parliaments more systematically in development strategy and conflict resolution, particularly for post-conflict democracies.
Engaging regional and emerging multilateral groups like the SCO and BRICS, which represent powerful regional and economic blocs with increasing global influence, is another crucial step. Incorporating these groups into UN-led peace and security dialogue can lend greater political weight and inclusivity, potentially bridging divides between Western-led institutions such as NATO and others.
Promoting comprehensive international conferences, such as the July 2025 Conference on the Two-State Solution, is another strategy. These conferences, involving diverse stakeholders, can produce actionable frameworks for peace. Emulating such models with SCO, BRICS, and IPU participation can help build broad consensus on international security matters.
Enhancing humanitarian coordination remains vital to managing the human consequences of crises and building trust. Cooperation with regional entities can augment these efforts and foster joint conflict prevention measures.
Lastly, supporting reforms to reinforce multilateralism is essential for legitimacy and effectiveness. Resolutions and efforts to improve cooperation with parliaments, civil society, and other UN bodies reflect a recognition that inclusive multilateralism is essential for countering unilateral approaches that may escalate tensions.
In the context of the current tensions between NATO and Russia, bringing SCO and BRICS—groups containing Russia and other major powers—and the IPU, which links national legislatures, into a cooperative framework under UN auspices may foster dialogue channels that could prevent potential conflicts.
As the world navigates through complex geopolitical challenges, the UN, along with international organizations like the IPU, SCO, BRICS, and NATO, stands poised to play a pivotal role in maintaining peace and preventing crises. The key lies in fostering deeper collaboration and inclusivity in multilateral engagement.
