Humanitarian Progress in BRICS Countries: People’s Values and Rights and the Development of Cultural and Natural Heritage
Congress Centre, conference hall D3
To bring BRICS+ countries closer together, it is crucial to understand the culture, mentality, traditions, and values of the organization’s partner states. We live in the reality of not just a multipolar, but a multicivilizational world. The people of the world do not want hegemony; they want respect for their history, traditions, and religion. Human rights and freedoms should not be used as a tool of pressure on ‘inconvenient’ countries. How can we establish a new view that is consistent with modern conditions based on the unity of a social world? What are some alternative independent institutions that can study, measure, and evaluate the performance of countries? How can we intensify cooperation in nature conservation and study the cultural practices and values of different civilizations? How can we effectively prevent transnational companies from manipulating consumers in the online environment?
