??On December 10, we celebrate #HumanRightsDay. It is dedicated to the adoption of one of the most important global commitments — the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Russia ???? is committed to fulfillment of the Universal Declaration. In #UNESCO, we stand for protection of linguistic, cultural and educational rights.

We draw attention to serious human rights violations in Ukraine, the Baltic states, Moldova, and Western countries in areas within UNESCO’s competence. We strongly condemn the obstacles created by the authorities of these countries to receiving education in native languages, the infringement of freedom of religion and restrictions on the use of native languages.
