Speaking at a dinner hosted in honor of the 152nd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, President Erdoğan said: “The international system, established by the victors 80 years ago, faces a major legitimacy crisis today. The values, principles, rules and norms that constitute the foundations of the system are on the threshold of losing their credibility and meaning at a global scale.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered remarks at a dinner hosted in honor of the 152nd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul.
“As people with a sound mind and conscience, we all know it well that the international system, established by the victors 80 years ago, faces a major legitimacy crisis today. The values, principles, rules and norms that constitute the foundations of the system are on the threshold of losing their credibility and meaning at a global scale. Binding provisions of the international law have unfortunately lost their influence over the actors that add new ones to the war crimes and crimes against humanity they perpetrate every day. No one is safe in such an atmosphere where common sense has been shelved, dialogue mechanisms deactivated, and diplomacy and negotiations replaced by weapons, missiles and bombs,” President Erdoğan said.
