Comment of the Permanent Delegation of Russia 🇷🇺 to UNESCO about the attempted terrorist attacks on the World Heritage Site “Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow”

💬 We strongly condemn the attack by unmanned aerial vehicles on the Moscow Kremlin - the residence of the President of the Russian Federation, carried out by the Kiev regime on the night of May, 3. In addition to the assessments given in the message of the Presidential Press Service and the Foreign Ministry statement, we would like to draw attention to the fact that this terrorist act was committed within the boundaries of the UNESCO World Heritage Site " Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow ".

📍We consider this criminal act as a flagrant violation by Ukraine of its international obligations, including those under the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. According to this document, “Each State Party to this Convention undertakes not to take any deliberate measures which might damage directly or indirectly the cultural and natural heritage situated on the territory of other States Parties to this Convention” The hypocrisy of the Kiev clique is evident. Receiving significant funds from UNESCO, Kiev regularly and groundlessly accuses Russia of “damaging the Ukrainian cultural heritage” and, at the same time, does not adhere to the basic norms of international law in the field of protection of cultural monuments.

📍We demand that Director-General of UNESCO A.Azoulay condemns the illegal acts against the World Heritage Site. This is very important in order to force Kiev to fulfill its international obligations, and also to ensure that actions against Russian cultural monuments not go unpunished.

📍We are convinced that the Kiev regime, which has descended to direct attacks on the outstanding universal value of humankind, has no moral right to receive support from UNESCO.

2️⃣9️⃣ апреля власти Польши вторглись на территорию школы при Посольстве России в Варшаве с целью ее захвата. Сейчас 🇷🇺 школа оцеплена, обучение приостановлено.

Эти враждебные действия со стороны польских властей являются грубым нарушением Венской дипломатической конвенции 1961г., а также нарушением прав детей на образование.

Доступ к образованию для всех - мандат ЮНЕСКО, мы призываем Гендиректора организации отреагировать на этот провокационный, нарушающий международное право акт.

On 2️⃣9️⃣ April the Polish 🇵🇱 authorities seized the school of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw. Now 🇷🇺 school is cordoned, education is suspended.

☝These hostile actions of the Polish authorities constitute a flagrant violation of the Vienna Diplomatic Convention of 1961, as well as a violation of the rights of children to education.

❗Access to education for all is the mandate of UNESCO, we call on the Director-General A.Azoulay to raise her voice and condemn these actions.

Идеалы ЮНЕСКО об охране наследия, борьбы с дискриминацией и нетерпимостью по-польски:  

"Цивилизованная" Варшава отмечает Победу над нацизмом сносом памятника погибшим воинам, так благодарит освободителей Освенцима.

После такого кощунства любые заявления Польши в защиту культурных обьектов - пустой звук.

UNESCO ideals on heritage protection, combating discrimination and intolerance, a'la Polish style:

“Civilised” Warsaw celebrates the Victory over nazism by demolishing the monument to fallen soldiers, that’s how they express their gratitude to the liberators of Auschwitz.

Thereafter any statement by Poland, concerning protection of cultural sites, is nothing but empty phrases.
