Russia's UN Security Council presidency: A strategic move to project power
    Report by ISW

    WORLD  02 July 2024 - 13:45

    Russia assumed its one-month-long rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on July 1 for the first time since April 2023.

    According to a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russia will likely use this position as a power projection base within the international system as it historically has, Caliber.Az reports.

    ISW assessed during Russia's April 2023 presidency that Russia exploited its UNSC presidency to further several narratives regarding Russia's desired sway in the international system and has previously noted that Russia uses its UNSC veto power as a base of power projection.

    Analysts have observed that several high-ranking Russian officials have recently launched several information operations meant to deflect responsibility for well-documented Russian violations of international law committed in Ukraine, likely to set conditions for the upcoming UNSC presidency.
