One of the main goals of the Big Three meeting in Yalta was to guarantee the stability of a new postwar world order in a lasting way. In taking stock today, we can honestly recognize that for 75 years the world has been protected from the worst disaster of a third world war, even if it has been the scene of numerous conflicts. The "Yalta order" was, not without reason, criticized for a kind of “dividing of the world” among the USSR and the Anglo-Saxon Powers. Nevertheless, it was more respectful of nations, of their identity, of their independence then the new globalist order that has gradually replaced it. Today it is necessary to return to some essential principles of Yalta, at least to go back to the Yalta’s spirit, so that the vision of a multipolar world is imposed on all, while respecting sovereignties, identities, and nations.
