Moscow’s non-compliance with UN resolution on Crimea to create more pressure on Russia - diplomat

Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN Volodymyr Yelchenko said this in an interview. "This is not just an idea, this is the decision, the resolution of the General Assembly, which was adopted last year and created the mechanism for monitoring the observance of human rights in Crimea on the part of the occupying power. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin attended the opening session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, delivered a speech on this issue, had a meeting with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and they agreed on what UN system will do in order to implement this resolution," Yelchenko said. According to the diplomat, if Russia does not give such permission, another powerful lever of pressure on it for refusing to comply with the UN decision would appear.
