BRICS Nations Call for Removal of Unilateral and Secondary Sanctions
Summit participants said such measures have far-reaching negative effects on human rights and violate international law, according to TASS.
Leaders of the BRICS group of nations called for the lifting of unilateral economic sanctions and secondary sanctions, describing them as illegal under international law, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
According to TASS, summit participants stated that unilateral economic and secondary sanctions have far-reaching negative implications, including effects on human rights in the countries subjected to them.
The TASS report did not specify which countries or entities were the intended targets of the sanctions criticism, nor did it provide the full text of the joint statement issued by the bloc.
BRICS, which includes major emerging economies, has in recent years positioned itself as a forum for countries seeking alternatives to Western-led international economic and political frameworks. Russia, which has faced extensive Western sanctions since 2022, is a founding member of the group.
Details on which specific sanctions regimes were referenced, the exact wording of the joint declaration, and any follow-up actions planned by member states were not immediately available from the source material.
