Belarus and Russia present report on human rights violations in Western countries at OSCE headquarters
The foreign ministries of Belarus and Russia have presented a report on human rights violations in Western countries at the OSCE headquarters. The document highlights alleged shortcomings in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, including its declarative nature, unequal rights for EU and third-country citizens, lack of sanctions for ethnic discrimination (specifically Russophobia), vague formulations enabling abuse, and the issue of second-class residency and statelessness in the Baltics. The report criticizes Western human rights practices for hypocrisy and double standards. The full version is available online.
