this year marks the 75th anniversary of the signing of the universal declaration of human rights. this document aims to support humanity's efforts in the fight against oppression and tyranny throughout the world. however, many have noticed that in recent decades the doctrine of human rights itself has been discredited by the west and is used to interfere in the internal affairs of individual countries to undermine their sovereignty. we will not only talk about this with the permanent representative of russia in nyon and other international organizations in geneva gennady gotilov, he is now in direct contact with the studio. gennady mikhailovich , hello, good afternoon, yes, december 10th, the round date marks 75 years since the signing of the universal declaration of human rights, and even at the stage of agreeing on the document, as far as i know, there were serious disputes around its contents, the soviet country stated that the declaration is formal, not practical, do you now agree with this characterization, well , first of all... to say that this is

truly a historical document universal in nature and in many ways it determines the attitude towards how human rights should develop, yes, this is a declaration, it is not mandatory, but in many respects it determines the behavior of states, the important thing is that this document was born as a result of the second world war war, after all the suffering that humanity has endured, after all the tragedies that the world has experienced, at that time, of course, it was important to adopt a document that would encourage the state to develop human rights, protection of human rights, in this regard, this document, of course, has its own very important historical significance.

after all, it is important that the document is implemented objectively , without any exceptions, without politicization, from this point of view, if this document had such significance for all states, if everyone followed the spirit of the provisions written in it, then it is still would be such a defining... guideline in the development of human rights issues on international platforms. tell me how much it really is in your opinion, the document corresponds to today's realities. is it, as an organization , capable of providing factual, not just words, protection of human rights? unfortunately, the situation has taken a different path; currently we are seeing excessive politicization in the approach to human rights. and from this point of view, unfortunately,

the un mechanisms are now playing not, well , to put it mildly, not the most constructive role, by the way, the president, vladimir vladimirovich putin, spoke about this yesterday in sufficient detail and succinctly at a meeting of the development council civil society and human rights , indeed, un mechanisms in human rights... have been used by some countries to achieve their political goals, to put pressure on the government and states that they do not like in order to subordinate them to their policies, in general to promote their geopolitical tasks. of course, this is not acceptable, this should not be so, human rights should be universal, they should... uh apply to

all countries with the same approach, but - we, i feel this very well here in geneva, unfortunately, we see another trend, a tendency for some countries to impose their will, their political agenda on others. this is what is called the issue, which is tied to the current agenda, in the world health organization, i warn you... that epidemics may begin in the gas sector , which could kill more people than even from bombings, this is how you assess the work of who in the middle east , but also other human rights organizations, who’s work in the middle east is very important, they are making incredible efforts to alleviate the suffering of the palestinian population in the gaza strip, which is well known to most medical. destroyed, does not work, in these

conditions, of course, it plays a very important role, providing medical supplies, medicines and everything else that is related to the activities of medical institutions. who is not alone in this; other un humanitarian organizations , unicef, and the office of humanitarian affairs are also working in this direction; they act in coordination in principle, and who plays its part in this regard key role. the situation is very complicated, now there and during the truce period it was possible to obtain certain types of humanitarian goods, including medical ones, but now after israel began military operations again, of course, the situation in this regard is becoming more complicated , but we must give credit to our colleagues,

international workers, they are trying in these difficult conditions to do everything in order to at least to some extent ensure the functioning of medical institutions. hospitals and hospitals, the remaining hospitals and hospitals in gaza, and their a little. gennady mikhailovich, returning to the topic of work at un sites, not so long ago russia was still unable to regain its place in the un human rights council. let's remind you why we left it, why we decided to return, and how, in your opinion , will russia's relations in the field of human rights protection now develop? well, as i said, western countries have always tended to use lately. the human rights mechanisms of the un have been politicized; in this regard , the human rights council, unfortunately, occupies one of the leading places, what happened after the start of a special military operation, then, as everyone knows, as you remember

, sweeping criticism, condemnation, and so on fell upon us, and the americans, together with their allies, then made efforts... to carry out the un general assembly of a resolution that would limit russia’s rights in the human rights council, it was about suspending russia’s rights, what this meant in practice, it meant that russia would not be able to participate in the activities of the human rights council, would not be able to contribute some documents, will not be able to vote, and in fact will be forced out of this human rights body. at that time, we made the only correct decision , and voluntarily left the membership for human rights, and leaving the membership, from the membership, meant that we, as observers,

already having the status of observers, can and continue to do this, making our contribution to activities of the council, we submit documents, the only thing we cannot really do is vote, but all other activities related to human rights, we are actively participating in this, so to say that we seem to have been forced out of the human sphere, from activity, is not true, we continue to actively work in this direction, with our like-minded people, and we have them here, we have them the so-called group for the defense of the un charter, consisting of more than twenty states, we together with them determine our common positions, make joint statements on a number of human rights,

and not only human rights problems, so here, so to speak, we have no hands let’s skip and continue active work , here’s what concerns: work on this site, you recently called on the un high commissioner for human rights to condemn the policy of rehabilitation of nazism that is being pursued in the baltic states, was there a reaction to your appeal, if so, what? well, you know, in general, with falkomko, the high commissioner for human rights, we had quite a complex relationship from the very beginning, because when he came to this position, he was in conversations with us... politics, taking into account the interests of all states and so on and so on, in fact of course, something completely different happened, he takes biased positions, essentially

follows the western approach to human rights issues, and we feel this every day, using the example of the ukrainian crisis, literally every day, we send him to his management extensive materials related to objective donbass with violations of human rights, with murders, oppression and so on, very large voluminous documents, but unfortunately, all of them remain unanswered, or we receive bureaucratic replies about that yes, your materials have been accepted for submission, we are considering them, and we will continue to monitor the development of events, everything, as it were, ends there. at the same time, we continue to be inundated

with all kinds of requests from the office of the high commissioner about the situation of what is happening in the donbass, what is the situation with prisoners of war, and so on and so forth, and they ask us for some detailed answers, so unfortunately we do not have it turns out to be a constructive conversation with the high commissioner, but this is actually understandable and not... surprising, because if look at who works as part of the secretariat in the office of the high commissioner for human rights, here we are - we tried to analyze this situation, it turned out that more than 300 representatives of western countries, the usa, great britain, france, germany and so on work in his office and so on, more than 300 people, because they are the ones who make these one-sided requests. make political, biased reports, so here, so to speak, one should not be

surprised that the fact that all our appeals, they seem to be drowning and do not receive the proper reaction from the administration, the high commissioner for human rights, but we will still continue this work, we will send materials and seek an adequate response to them , assuming that one day spochon will still condemn the rehabilitation of nazism in the baltic states, what do you think is the chance that these countries will abandon such a policy, stop demolishing soviet monuments, rewriting history, well, of course, that would be good, but we still live in a far from ideal world , and we really look at the situation that is developing at the un human rights platforms. after all, for more than two decades russia has been introducing a traditional draft resolution

on the inadmissibility of the glorification of nazism, and in this regard we feel the support of a number of countries, but not surprisingly, all western countries, including the united states and france, are voting against these resolutions, england, uh, and germany and japan, uh, former allies in world war ii, uh, and actually, where nazism was born, uh, then they have this resolution - it is considered unacceptable, but uh, again i want to say that uh, the situation, uh, although it is getting worse, now, and this is obvious, with the spread of nazism, we will... continue to actively raise this topic at international platforms

and seek an adequate response, by the way, the russian ministry of defense recently released another report on the glorification of nazism in the world, and it describes everything in detail about the situation with this problem in western countries. genati mikhailov, every now and then conversations about the need for un reform are renewed, as you do you think in what direction the organization should change and is this even possible in the current conditions? well, questions about un reform, they arose literally from the very moment of the birth of this organization, literally from its first days. each secretary general, taking up this post, proposed his own ways to solve the problem, increase the efficiency of its activities, proposed some measures to improve its work, well, this is quite natural. because an organization is an organism that, of course, must

adapt to modern realities, to changing situation in the world, but in order for the un to continue to be effective, it must, of course, be based on the opinions of all member states, it must reflect the positions and approaches of all states, and not just a group, like countries or individual states, so this this concept, which is now being promoted by western countries about a world... order based on some rules, on rules that they themselves invent and try to impose on other states, it, of course, does not in any way contribute to strengthening the united nations organization to increase its effectiveness, therefore

, un reform, if it occurs, in our opinion, should be based, of course... on multipolarity, on reflecting the positions and taking into account the interests of all countries, only then will the organization be able adequately respond to the new challenges we are facing now. gennady mikhailovich, i thank you for your comments, thank you very much for answering the questions, let me remind you that the permanent representative of russia from the branches of he and others was in direct contact with the studio international organizations in geneva gennady gotilov. now a short advertisement and we will continue. alfabank's legendary free credit card has forever become even more profitable. receive a supercake every month and withdraw cash for free from any
