Russia will revise its obligations towards international organisations with discriminatory approaches, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.

International organisations are turning into a tool of hybrid wars, while "the collective West is destroying with their own hands the system which it was building to serve their own financial and economic interests in the post-war period," Lavrov said in his address for Diplomatic Workers' Day.

"Under such conditions, our obligations will be revised to the organisations which practice blatant discriminatory approaches, where the statutory principle of participants’ equality is not observed, the agreed consensus procedures are broken," he said.

The process has already begun and in some cases the revision will be drastic, Lavrov added.
