The Russian diplomat sharply responded to statements by the British in the UN about the Crimeans
International humanitarian law cannot be subject to political manipulation, said the acting permanent representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, a speech at the meeting of the security Council.
the meeting was devoted to problems of international humanitarian law. Authorized Russia acted after the speech of the Ambassador of great Britain to the UN, Karen pierce.
She said that Ukrainian " citizens of Crimea, in violation of international humanitarian law, are denied access to basic services, because they have not changed their citizenship." In addition, in her expressions, in the Syrian Arab Republic, the people forced to starve in certain areas do not allow the ICRC.
"There are many currently selective approaches and double standards affect the credibility of international humanitarian law. In these conditions many, depending on political preferences, will Vsplyvaet the temptation to unleash a violation of one of the parties and conceal the other of iniquity, " - said Polanski.
"we are confident that the rules of international humanitarian law cannot be a tool of political manipulation," He noted.
according to his statement, an example of this situation, the members of the UN security Council heard today from the speech of the envoy of great Britain Karen pierce. Polyansky emphasized that in the territory of the Russian Federation, including Crimea, there is no armed conflict, what makes talking about international humanitarian law in our country is misplaced.
He also reminded about the problem of humanitarian law in the Syrian Arab Republic, noting the lack of any reaction from Britain and the United States.
The Russian Commissioner has tried to convince all countries to comply strictly with their obligations under international law.
"We are confident that the problem of implementation lies not in the weakness of international humanitarian law, and the reluctance or unwillingness to implement its principles and norms into practice," He concluded.
