Russia is “concerned” about the situation at the Human Rights Committee which developed there while Russia was not there, the ministry said.

“We are concerned about the growing level of confrontation and politicisation, lower intergovernmental character of the Committee’s work, undermined trust to that importat UN body,” the ministry says. “Realistically, the Human Rights Committee repeats the history of the UN former human rights commission, which fate is well-known – it was dismissed back in 2006.”
