Apparently:
"The existing international security system has failed in a crisis situation, which is confirmed by developments in both Iraq and Kosovo, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told a new conference after a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Moscow."
Hmm, he may have a point.
"He noted that unipolarity or domination were no longer acceptable principles on the political arena, as even the largest states as the USA could not lay down the rules for the entire global community. To do it should be up to special institutions such as the UN and regional organizations."
OK. Except what Medvedev "proposing" is actually the UN Charter regime, which has been around for sixty years...

Just my two drachmas,

Except that it's as often as not Russia's veto on the Security Council that prevents "the UN" from acting the part...
