Senator Mushahid Hussain addressed the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) forum in Russia, where he strongly criticized what he described as Western double standards in international policies. During his speech, Hussain underscored the inconsistencies and biases exhibited by Western nations in their approach to global issues, emphasizing the need for a more balanced and equitable international order.
Hussain’s remarks highlight a growing sentiment among BRICS nations and other Global South countries, who often view Western actions as hypocritical. For instance, issues such as selective intervention in sovereign countries, inconsistent human rights advocacy, and unequal economic practices were primary focal points of his critique. This critique stems from a historical context where Western countries have been accused of leveraging international institutions and policies to maintain their geopolitical dominance, often at the expense of developing nations.
The senator’s participation at the BRICS forum represents Pakistan’s engagement with multilateral organizations that prioritize collective growth, mutual respect, and cooperation devoid of Western-centric prejudices. By addressing these concerns at a significant forum, Hussain echoed the demand for a global system where rules apply equally to all states, irrespective of their economic power or regional influence.
