The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus has compiled a report "The most outrageous cases of human rights violations in certain countries 2022", said Irina Velichko, the head of the Central Office of Multilateral Diplomacy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus.
Irina Velichko said: “Practice demonstrates that with the passage of time human rights stopped relying on principles of indivisibility and lack of hierarchy. The collective West has learned how to profitably manipulate categories of human rights and pay attention only to those that serve their political ambitions.”
The representative of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed: “Just a few examples of such policies in respect to ordinary people are systemic discrimination in society, almost daily dispersals of peaceful protests by force, violations of the rights of refugees and migrants, and banning the media from covering the events.”
A number of monuments at graves of Soviet soldiers in some Lithuanian cities have been demolished. Apart from that, elements of racial discrimination and intolerance with regard to people with non-European nationality and culture are promoted in Lithuania at the state level.
“I would like to see the UN Human Rights Council find the capacity and administrative resources to restore the original essence of human rights, and to have illegal unilateral coercive measures be eliminated from the bilateral practice of interaction between states for the sake of sustainable development and progress of all peoples in the spirit of San Francisco, which would be consistent with the spirit and letter of the UN Charter,” the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
