🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the General Meeting of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO (December 22, 2023)
Read in full
💬 The outgoing year was not an easy one for #UNESCO. As we know, after the beginning of the special military operation, the collective West began to intensify its efforts to politicise the organisation, and reduce its agenda to Ukraine.
Their notorious double standards are reflected in regular anti-Russia resolutions on Crimea and Ukraine. The West is pushing through these resolutions by twisting the arms of the developing nations.
These resolutions go beyond UNESCO’s mandate. It has no competence in this area.
❗️ Attempts to defame Russia for “destroying Ukraine’s cultural heritage" without citing any evidence are in the same category. Such evidence simply does not exist. Nor does UNESCO have any right to attribute guilt. <...>
At the same time, we still haven’t heard any statement condemning the act of terror at the Moscow Kremlin, a world heritage site. Nor has UNESCO Secretary-General Audrey Azoulay from France denounced the murder of Russian journalists although this is her direct mandate.
<...>
But the attempts to “cancel” Russia in UNESCO did not achieve the desired effect. As President Vladimir Putin noted at the St Petersburg Cultural Forum last November, in UNESCO we are conducting very serious projects that generate widespread interest in the world.
I will emphasise again that we are not closing ourselves off from anyone.
<...>
Overall, we have accumulated a wealth of positive experience to build upon. Frankly, a mutually beneficial professional dialogue in UNESCO is still possible despite the blatantly unlawful actions of its Secretariat’s senior officials.

💬On #WorldPressFreedomDay we remind #UNESCO Director-General A.Azoulay of the need to strictly follow her mandate and condemn killing of journalists without any distinction❗
This mandate was provided by the UNESCO General Conference in 1997 and confirmed by the Executive Board in 2023.
We regret that the UNESCO Secretariat, despite following these decisions of the Governing Bodies of the Organization, is guided by some “internal criteria” unfamiliar to Member-States and, to our view, based on double standards.
There is still no reaction of A.Azoulay to the killing of Russian journalists D.Dugina, O.Klokov, M.Fomin (V.Tatarsky), B.Maksudov and S.Eremin committed by Kiev regime.
📢We urge the UNESCO Director-General to unconditionally condemn the killing of Russian journalists.
Absence of UNESCO's reaction to crimes against Russian journalists creates conditions for impunity and puts into question the Organization's work in the field of press freedom and protection of journalists’ rights.

⚡️ The Hague, which hosted #UNESCO International Conference “Cultural Heritage and Peace: Building on 70 years of The Hague Convention”, flagrantly violated the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Host Country Agreement with UNESCO.
❗️Russian experts were denied registration and a visa, and a senior diplomat of the Russian Permanent Delegation to UNESCO, who had arrived from Paris to take part in the Penal sessions, was blocked by the security service from entering the hall before the closing session and escorted out of the building.
This outrage occurred in the face of UNESCO Secretariat's failure to ensure Russia's full participation in the event.
🛑 We are outraged that Assistant Director General E.Ottone, who officially invited Russia to the event, was praising on the stage the Government of the Netheralnds "for excellent organisation of the conference", while the Russian diplomat was escorted out of the building under excuse of a "political decision" of the Dutch side.
Does this mean that UNESCO Secretariate supports actions against Russia?
📢 We request the Director General A.Azoulay to conduct an internal investigation into the incident and call the Hague to account for the gross violation of international obligations and report on the outcomes to UNESCO Member States!

⚡️Statement by Permanent Delegate of Russia to #UNESCO H.E. R.Alyautdinov at 46th session of World Heritage Committee #WHC under item "Report of World Heritage Centre on its activities & implementation of WHC’s decisions"
📍As stated by Director-General, Secretariat seems ready to assist WHC in dealing equitably with different sensitive issues. But it is evident that some biased Committee members instead of prioritizing collective action to protect heritage worldwide have again opted for double standards and selective approach.
📍Russia rejects inadmissible allegations & false accusations made by Ukraine & delegations of Western countries. They care less of world heritage & more of pursuing their own short-term political interests thus putting Convention in Danger. They escalate & use this expert forum to spread misinformation & politicized rhetoric, while world majority is endeavouring way out of current situation.
📍Russia is firmly committed to WHC & fulfill vigorously all its international obligations.

💬Постпред РФ при #UNESCO Р.Ж.Аляутдинов по итогам включения «Культурного ландшафта Кенозерья» в Список всемирного наследия:

📍На полях сессии Комитета всемирного наследия #UNESCO провел важные встречи с коллегами из африканских стран. Обсуждали перспективы углубления сотрудничества. Накопленный Россией экспертный потенциал востребован за рубежом.
📍Главным событием для России на сессии стало принятие решения о внесении в Список всемирного наследия нового российского объекта - "Культурный ландшафт Кенозерья".☝️ Теперь в нашей стране 3️⃣3️⃣объекта всемирного наследия.
📍 С подачи западных стран Комитет становится местом сведения геополитических счетов. Спонсоры Киева попытались использовать доклад о состоянии сохранности памятников в Киеве, Львове и Одессе для распространения безосновательных обвинений России. ☝️ Комитет превысил свои полномочия. ЮНЕСКО не имеет ни атрибутивных функций, ни элементарных компетенций, чтобы возлагать на кого-нибудь ответственность за разрушение наследия.
