Russia, SA to Oppose Politicization of Human Rights Issues on Int'l Arena: MFA

Russia and South Africa agreed to coordinate their positions at the UN, Director of the Russian MFA’s Department for Humanitarian Cooperation and Human Rights Grigory Lukyantsev said.

During bilateral consultations in Pretoria, the two sides discussed maintaining the impartiality of international institutions, respecting the UN Charter and addressing what they described as double standards in assessing human rights situations, he added.

The talks also focused on cooperation in combating racism and racial discrimination, as well as joint initiatives at the UN.
