BRICS countries have decided to moderate the Middle East and reject unilateral sanctions
Meeting in India, these countries have agreed on a comprehensive 140-point statement, including a commitment to work together to "protect the flow of trade and energy."
BRICS leaders have unanimously adopted the New Delhi Declaration on Saturday calling for restraint in the faceof escalating conflict in the Middle East and for joint work to "protect trade and energy flow" and reject unilateral sanctions against international law.
The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia) are holding a summit on global governance and multilateralism in India this weekend.
After many disagreements, they have finally agreed on a text -the New Delhi Declaration of 2026-in the context of the escalation of tension in the Near West, which reflects the "deep concern" of these countries, calling for "restraint and avoidance of actions that could further aggravate the situation."
They also consider it necessary to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States.
In a long 140-point statement, the bloc stresses the need to work together to "maintain a constant flow of global trade, supply chains and energy." It does not directly mention the Strait of Hormuz, a key global supply route affected by the current regional escalation.
It also calls for the elimination of measures deemed "illegal" by the bloc. "We condemn the imposition of unilateral coercive measures that are contrary to international law and reaffirm that such measures, including under unilateral and secondary economic sanctions, have profound negative effects on human rights."
