Human rights situation in Crimea should be made clear in UN report – Klimkin
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has discussed the human rights situation in Crimea with UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic at a meeting in Kyiv on Monday.
"In the course of the meeting the minister thanked the interlocutor for the constant attention of the United Nations to the rough violations of human rights in the east of Ukraine by Russian-backed illegal armed formations, as well as in Autonomous Republic of Crimea after Russia's occupation. He noted the active, unbiased work of the UN monitoring mission for human rights that work in Ukraine from March 15, 2014 under Ukrainian government's invitation," the ministry reported on its website.
Klimkin said that facts which prove that Russia roughly and routinely violates the rights of the Crimean Tatars and ethnic Ukrainians in Crimea require a separate report of UN High Human Rights Commissioner, as well as the presence of an international monitoring mission in the peninsula.
