US Unilateralism a Threat to World Order

The unilateral approach adopted by the United States has pushed the world on a "dangerous" downward spiral, President Hassan Rouhani said Friday, calling on world leaders not to sit idle while international law and agreements are being undermined. 
"US unilateralism is dangerous for the world order," he told reporters in Tehran before flying to China to attend a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on June 9 and 10, IRNA reported. 
Jointly led by Russia and China, the SCO was launched in 2001 to address regional security, political and economic challenges. The eight-member grouping also includes Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and, since last year, Pakistan and India. 
Iran is an observer member and has long sought full membership.
