Moscow (IP) - Justice Ministers of BRICS countries in a joint statement call for creating a basis for further negotiations at the level of the BRICS countries to establish practical guidelines for combating unilateral sanctions and compensating for their adverse effects.

Iran Press/Europe: Iran’s Justice Minister Amin Hossein Rahimi participated at the BRICS Justice Ministers meeting in Moscow on Wednesday evening.

He has called on the BRICS group to take practical measures to counter the West’s unilateral and illegitimate sanctions.

Rahimi expressed his hope that strengthening cooperation between bloc members will be an effective tool to curb unilateral measures and the United States' hegemonic agenda.

He underlined that imposing unilateral economic sanctions against free and independent nations is a clear violation of international law.

The Iranian justice minister said in recent years, international institutions have confirmed the illegality of unilateral coercive measures. BRICS can help effectively establish the rule of law while confronting these illegal actions.

Iranian Minister of Justice also hailed the BRICS group as an important step in the path of realizing a multipolar world and getting rid of the system of domination and unilateralism and an effective step to strengthen multilateralism and hear diverse voices in the international arena.
