And it is a very conservative and bureaucratic organization, a forum precisely for the nations,\u201d Rychter said. She stressed that \u201cfor the UN organization, whoever has effective power over the territory is its representative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Belarusian media reported today that UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres personally invited \u0141uka\u0161enka to the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals Summit. The published excerpts of \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s reply contain no direct confirmation of his visit to the summit in New York, only a promise that the country will be properly represented.<\/p>\n<p> Rychter said she understands the public\u2019s confusion after the&nbsp;news, as the democratic forces, led by Cichano\u016dskaja as president-elect, are trying to take over the regime\u2019s place in international organizations.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cYou have to understand that for conservative organizations like the United Nations, everything works within the paradigm of boundaries they themselves have invented,\u201d Rychter explained. Therefore, for international organizations \u201cthe democratic forces of Belarus are a challenge\u201d that can lead to change. For example, the Council of Europe, of which Belarus is not a member but \u201chas a special status there,\u201d has appointed Belarus\u2019 democratic and civil society as a contact group, she said.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that even dictators are allowed to participate in the United Nations. \u201cIf someone has committed crimes as a regime, even against humanity, it doesn\u2019t mean that these people can\u2019t participate in UN events as they retain effective power over the territory of the country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 12, BPN.
