Belarus has experienced how destructive and unfair the country of UN resolutions, and has always voted against them, said the official Commissioner of the foreign Ministry of Belarus Dmitry Mironchik, explaining the Minsk's decision to vote against the decision of the United Nations across Crimea.
"The position of Belarus on Ukraine has not changed a single millimeter. The question about procedure of consideration of human rights in the UN is a completely different plane and our firm belief, is irrelevant to the topic of territorial integrity of Ukraine. Belarus has experienced how destructive and unfair the mechanism of country-specific resolutions, and firmly believed that their adoption ? a road to nowhere, " - said in his statement on the Internet representation of the MFA of the Republic.
It is noted that this practice developed during the cold war and the United Nations by individual countries only to promote their own interests." We always openly vote against country-specific resolutions where they have not been considered ? in Geneva or new York. This is not evidence of the support of States that become objects of the resolutions, as evidence of our consistent rejection of the hypocritical approach to the topic of human rights, which imposed United Nations individual States on the principle of "I know better what you need to do," emphasizes Mironchik. He stresses that in this matter Belarus supports India, Indonesia, China, Russia and other countries, " which together represent more than fifty percent of the population of the planet.""
