Permanent Representative of the Republic of Crimea to the President of the Russian Federation Georgy Muradov stated this today at a press conference in Moscow.
“Among other things, it talks about the need to respect the rights of the Catholic minority. It’s small, but it exists in Crimea. It is not mentioned that a decision was made to build a new Catholic church. A priest representing the Vatican works in Crimea. The Vatican does not support this resolution, but they include a provision that the rights of Catholics are being violated,” Muradov said.
The Ukrainian draft resolution on the human rights situation in Crimea was submitted to the UN General Assembly. The document, which presents a number of recommendations to the Russian side, was adopted on November 14 by the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Issues. 70 countries expressed support for the Ukrainian document, and almost the same number abstained. 25 countries opposed it. It is expected that the draft resolution will be finally considered at the plenary meeting of the current 72nd session of the General Assembly.
