On Tuesday, December 17, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution entitled "The situation of human rights in the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol." 81 countries voted for the document, 14 voted against, and another 80 countries abstained.
This is reported by "Ukrinform".
Main provisions of the resolution
The document condemns the systematic violations of human rights in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine by the Russian authorities, the oppression of Crimean Tatars, as well as the persecution of pro-Ukrainian activists, journalists, and representatives of religious minorities.
Countries that voted "against"
Among the countries that opposed the resolution:
• Belarus
• China
• Cuba
• North Korea
• Iran
• Russia
• countries such as Sudan, Zimbabwe, Niger, and others.
As is known, on November 20, the United Nations General Assembly Third Committee adopted an updated resolution on the situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, including Crimea. This resolution is one of the largest in terms of text in the history of the UN General Assembly.
It should be recalled that previously, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would never legally recognize the Russian occupation of its territories. He also added that accession to NATO and the EU are key security guarantees for our country.
In addition, the President said that the main sceptics of Ukraine's accession to the Alliance are three countries. We are talking about the USA, Hungary, and Germany.
