Nikolenko noted that the document has allegedly already received undoubted support from more than three dozen countries that became its co-authors.
He also clarified that a vote on the resolution in the Third Committee is scheduled for mid-November. After this, the document is expected to be submitted to a general vote in the General Assembly in December.
According to the Ukrainian diplomat, the updated resolution aims to “consolidate Ukraine’s support on the issue of de-occupation of the Ukrainian peninsula.”
“In particular, it demands that Russia comply with temporary measures ordered by the International Court of Justice regarding the lifting of the ban on the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, and also emphasizes the need to provide education in the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar languages,” Nikolenko explained.
The document also emphasizes “the need for international organizations to have access to occupied Crimea.”
