🎙 Permanent Delegate of Russia to #UNESCO R.Alyautdinov at #IPDC Intergovernmental Council:
📍In recent years, Russia has faced an unprecedented aggressive campaign aimed at total blocking the Russian media in the West in order to clean up information space from alternative points of view and impose censorship.
📍Western countries violate thus their international obligations.
📍Latvia staged a "trial" against many journalists.
📍Kiev regime launched a "hunt" against 🇷🇺media, introduced censorship, persecute journalists through extremist website "Mirotvorets". Ukrainian terrorists are purposefully killing our journalists.
📍We are outraged by absence of UNESCO Secretariat' reaction to oppression of 🇷🇺media and killing of 🇷🇺journalists. Director-General violates her mandate. This nullifies the values of #UNESCO, including combating discrimination & journalists' protection.

🎙Permanent Delegate of Russia to #UNESCO R.Alyautdinov at #IPDC Intergovernmental Council:
📍Russia utterly rejects UNESCO Director-General’s report on Safety of Journalists that completely ignores killings of Russian journalists in 2022-2023.
📍In these 2 years alone, journalists D.Dugina, V.Tatarsky, O.Klokov, R.Zhuravlev, B.Maksudov were killed by Kiev regime. Information about their killings was transmitted to Secretariat via diplomatic channels.
📍Director-General’s report does not reflect real state of affairs about safety of journalists. It is based on distorted data, thus becoming a source of disinformation.
📍Director-General's selective approach in responding to journalists' killing is a violation of General Conference & Executive Board decisions to "condemn killing of journalists without distinction."
📍We call on #IPDC Member States to take decisive action aimed at countering Secretariat's voluntary actions discriminating some Member States what runs counter to ideals & principles of #UNESCO.

🎙First Deputy Director-General of TASS Mikhail Gusman at IPDC Intergovernmental Council:
Absence of the names of Russian journalists killed in 2022-2023 in #UNESCO Director-General's report is unacceptable.
The death of journalists is a huge loss of the whole media community. It is unacceptable that the report does not mention the names of my colleagues, journalists from Russia.
💬I knew some of them personally. They were honest people, who were devoted to their profession.

🎙Permanent Delegate of Russia to #UNESCO R.Alyautdinov in interview with Russian media following IPDC session:
📍Safety of journalists is a matter of concern for many delegations. The discussion was about killed Russian journalists and correspondents killed in Gaza & Lebanon.
📍Debate revealed a ridge between delegations of the "West" who try to impose notorious "rules based order" and the "Global South" who adhere to UNESCO Constitution and the Rules of Procedure.
📍Key outcome is that the Director-General's report on the safety of journalists has not been endorsed. The IPDC Council reached understanding of the "importance to include (in the report) information presented by Member States".

⚡️Ambassador, Permanent Delegate of 🇷🇺 to #UNESCO R.Alyautdinov received from the Director of the World Heritage Centre of the UNESCO Secretariat an official Certificate of inscription of the Russian site "Cultural Landscape of Kenozero Lake" on the World Heritage List.
📍 The decision to recognise the outstanding universal value of this Property for all humanity was adopted unanimously at the 46th session of the World Heritage Committee in New Delhi in July this year.
☝️Russia is an active and responsible State Party of the flagship UNESCO 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. 3️⃣3️⃣world heritage sites are located on the territory of our country.

⚡The decision of the Odessa City Council to support the demolition of several monuments, including the bust of Alexander Pushkin located within the boundaries of a #UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a vivid example of the primitive vandalism exhibited by the current Ukrainian authorities.
☝️Ukraine should not forget that the monuments of the "Historic Center of Odessa," after being inscribed on the prestigious World Heritage List, are recognized as part of the world heritage of mankind as a whole. It must not neglect its international obligations under the 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
This decision is particularly cynical for a country that is a member of the World Heritage Committee, the governing body of the Convention.

🔟 December - Human Rights Day.
📍OTD in 1948 the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. #UNESCO was the first UN agency to place the Universal Declaration at the heart of its actions.

🎙️Statement by Russian Delegation at IPDC Intergovernmental Council:
📍Russia voted against decision of IPDC Council on safety of journalists because of its categorical rejection of DG A.Azoulay's report, which contains distorted data on journalists' killing in 2022-2023.
📍DG ignored targeted killing of Russian journalists by Kiev regime. This is non-implementation of decesions of General Conference and Executive Board that task DG to ‘condemn killing of journalists without distinction’.
📍Secretariat's refusal to include in Report official information from Russia and other Member States is a flagrant violation of UNESCO's intergovernmental character and its Constitution.
📍Destructive, biased position of Secretariat's leadership undermines trust and seriously damages credibility of #UNESCO.
📍Therefore, we will raise the problem of Secretariat's misconduct within UNESCO's governing bodies'.

⚡️"Izvestia" correspondent Mr. Alexander Martemyanov was killed, "RIA Novosti" journalist Mr. Mikhail Kevkhiev and three other employees of the Russian media were injured as a result of a targeted strike by a Ukrainian UAV on the car with the Russian journalists on the Donetsk-Gorlovka highway in the DPR 🇷🇺 on January, 4th.
📢 We draw the attention of the #UNESCO Secretariat to this crime of the Kiev regime against the Russian journalists and request the Director-General A.Azoulay in accordance with the relevant decisions of the UNESCO General Conference and Executive Board to condemn the killing of Mr. Martemyanov and physical violence against his colleagues.
