Does the Kazan Declaration have any value?

The artificial schism between the Euro-American-led west and the Global South was examined based on BRICS statements and summit resolutions in Kazan (October 22-24) to ascertain whether BRICS represented a serious challenge to the existing global order.

The analysis did not reveal anything promising.

A further examination of the big fish within BRICS+ reconfirmed that.

Two key resolutions from the Kazan Declaration issued at the 16th BRICS Summit deemed pertinent to the Islamic Resistance will be considered.

Since the previous BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, Israel has not only increased its violations of “sovereign nations” but has done so with more intensification without facing any consequences.

Amidst the annual ritual of calling for peace and respect for the sovereignty of nation-states within the existing international order— something Israel flagrantly disregards— resolution 30 reaffirmed, yet again, the two-state solution based on international law and in line with internationally recognized borders of June 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital living side by side in peace and security with Israel.

This resolution is a regurgitation of a resolution passed over a decade ago during The Durban Declaration after the 5thBRICS Summit.

The implication of supporting such a resolution is that BRICS+, with the exception of Islamic Iran, is resolute about the zionists usurping 78% of Palestine.

After thousands of innocent Palestinian and Lebanese deaths and immense infrastructure destruction since the 5th BRICS Summit, including the live broadcast of a genocide, it is astonishing that the “Global South” still considers living side by side in peace and security with Israel to be a viable option!

It appears as though Muslim lives, especially in Palestine and Lebanon, are expendable in the Global South’s quest for “strengthening multilateralism for just global development and security.”

To add insult to injury, rather than address the cause of global instability and insecurity viz. Israel, the BRICS+ countries passed resolution 33 which stressed the importance of ensuring the exercise of navigational rights and freedoms of vessels of all states in the Red Sea and Bab Al-Mandab Strait, in accordance with international law.

Who stands to benefit from these two resolutions, if not Israel?

It is well known that Ansarullah’s military operations in support of the Palestinian victims of Israeli perpetrated genocide specifically targeted Israeli vessels or vessels carrying supplies through the Red Sea and the Bab Al-Mandab Strait to prop up the Israeli economy and its genocidal forces.

The above two resolutions should remove any doubt that, with the exception of Islamic Iran, the strong zionist-Israeli lobbies within the other BRICS+ countries that enjoy strong diplomatic, trade or military ties with zionist entity are ruling the roost.
