Russia takes over the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council this SaturdayA responsibility that he occupies for a month and it is basically legitimate, but it is This has angered the Ukrainian government and generated calls Neglect.
In April, the Russian delegation is responsible for managing the work agenda and presiding over meetings of the United Nations’ highest decision-making body, which is chaired by a member state on an alphabetical rotation basis each month.
One of the major benefits of the position President can organize special sessions Among the matters he regards as important and frequently attends to Government members.
