BRICS Countries Voice Concern Over Unilateral Tariffs, Condemn Coercive Measures
In a statement reported by Iran's IRNA, BRICS nations criticized rising unilateral tariffs and non-tariff measures they say distort trade and breach WTO rules, while denouncing coercive measures that violate international law.
The BRICS group of nations has expressed serious concern over what it described as a rise in unilateral tariffs and non-tariff measures that distort international trade and violate World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, according to a report by Iran's state news agency IRNA.
IRNA reported that the BRICS countries also condemned unilateral coercive measures, which they said violate international law.
The report did not specify which countries or policies were being referenced, nor did it provide additional details on when or where the statement was issued.
BRICS, an intergovernmental organization originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has expanded its membership in recent years and has increasingly used joint statements to address global economic and trade issues.
IRNA's report did not include further elaboration on specific measures under discussion or any response from parties that might be implicated by the criticism.
