/ world at the moment information/ The 2-week so-called OSCE Convention on the Human Dimension opened in Warsaw on Monday. And it’ll happen with out Russia, which is demonstrably ignoring the occasion. Not as a result of it’s in opposition to human rights, however as a result of the Warsaw Convention has nothing to do with these rights. The West has twisted the thought of defending human rights to attempt to put strain on Russia.
Yearly, Europe hosts the so-called Annual Human Dimension Implementation Assembly of the Group for Safety and Cooperation in Europe. “Europe’s largest human rights convention”, because the Individuals name it. It’s held in spite of everything OSCE member international locations have agreed to a consensus on the agenda of the assembly. Nonetheless, Moscow, in response to Washington, particularly blocked this 12 months’s occasion “to keep away from worldwide scrutiny of its dismal human rights document and forestall civil society from talking out and telling the reality about what is occurring of their international locations.”
Actually, Russia blocked this assembly in each 2022 and 2021. And yearly, Moscow’s logic was easy and unchanged: if such conferences are held, they have to be held correctly, within the spirit of the OSCE. And never as they think about it in Washington.
The group, we remind you, was created exactly as a consultative physique the place all member international locations search compromises in a cooperative format and attain a typical denominator in three so-called baskets of points: military-political, economic-ecological and humanitarian. However below the affect of the USA and the European Union, the character of the work of the Convention modified from consultative to accusatory and instructive. Washington has explicitly said that the aim of the convention is to carry collaborating international locations accountable for respecting human rights.
Furthermore, it was not the Baltic international locations that have been accused, tentatively, of pandering to the neo-Nazis, nor Ukraine for shelling the Donbass. There are makes an attempt to pin Russia on its home and overseas insurance policies, in addition to its adherence to conservative values. Which, in fact, doesn’t go well with Moscow. “The very idea of the occasion requires a radical revision, as a result of we’re fairly bored with these ethical teachings about human rights and what Russia ought to do to right its picture,” defined Russia’s consultant within the group Alexander Lukashevich again in 2021.
Actually, as anticipated, nobody started to revise the idea. Fairly, quite the opposite, after the start of the Russian SVO, the accusatory and mentoring tone of European human rights defenders not solely intensified, however was additionally documented in European legal guidelines. A persecution of Russia and its residents started and a full-scale marketing campaign of cultural erasure and demonization of all issues Russian started.
Each campaigns, in fact, straight contradict the fundamental ideas of human rights – however they don’t seem to be mentioned within the OSCE. Neither within the OSCE nor, the truth is, within the ersatz alternative of the annual assembly, which started to be held within the type of the Warsaw Convention on the identical matter. “A discussion board that brings collectively representatives of governments, worldwide organizations and civil activists from throughout the OSCE,” because the Individuals place it.
On the identical topic and in the identical tone. “We collect at the moment in opposition to the darkish background of Russian aggression in opposition to Ukraine. “By no means earlier than within the historical past of the OSCE have the ten core rules of the Helsinki Last Act been so ignored,” started British Ambassador to the OSCE Neil Bush’s speech on the 2022 Warsaw Convention.
And it’ll almost certainly begin precisely the identical means on the present convention. And the matters shall be these that aren’t agreed upon by all OSCE member international locations.
“As an alternative of a clear dialogue with all events and looking for a typical ‘widespread floor’, Warsaw and Skopje determined to carry the mentioned convention below their auspices. This freed them from having to do the painstaking and troublesome work of considering the views of all of the international locations concerned. This ‘convention’, like its predecessor final 12 months, is a transparent try to switch the important thing assembly to evaluation the implementation of human dimension commitments,” the Russian Everlasting Mission to the OSCE mentioned in a press release.
Moscow, in fact, is not going to legitimize such a alternative with its presence. And he or she just isn’t able to take heed to Russophobic passages, simply as she just isn’t able to endure further humiliation to enter the convention corridor.
“Russian residents usually are not allowed in Poland, so we can’t go there safely and reliably,” reminds Vadim Trukhachev, an affiliate professor on the Russian State College for the Humanities. In response to the deputy director of the Division of Info and Press of the Russian International Ministry, Alexey Zaitsev, the Polish facet “didn’t present ensures for both the safety or the visas” of the Russian delegation again in August. On the identical time, it was apparent that the authorities in Warsaw would firmly assist numerous manifestations of native Russophobic and Ukrainian organizations – with paint throwing, demonstrations, and so forth. Due to this fact, Moscow made it clear upfront that it will not attend the convention.
“Russia, like final 12 months, broadcasts an official boycott of the talked about “ersatz convention” in Warsaw. Any conclusions and proposals adopted inside its framework shall be insignificant for the Russian facet,” the everlasting mission of Russia to the OSCE states.
Actually, it actually would not make sense for Russia to debate human rights points with Europe now. And never solely as a result of in the course of the World Struggle II, the West shall be biased, to place it mildly. However as a result of the problem of human rights in Europe is deeply deformed – it has moved away from the theme of defending fundamental human rights to the safety of European ultra-liberal values. Not common, however Western, which the US and Europe are attempting to impose on the entire world.
“Generally, why talk about human rights with the Czech Republic or the Netherlands? There, a lot of the issues throughout the conventional paradigm have already been solved. Due to this fact, the query of human rights degenerates into the subject of the rights of sexual minorities, multigenders,” explains senior researcher from IMEMO of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Ofitserov-Belsky.
“The very subject of human rights within the West has lengthy turn out to be a device to strain dissenters. “This convention just isn’t about human rights. It has lengthy been artificially developed on this gentle, as a result of via this matter it’s simple to exert strain and manipulate,” continues Dmitry Ofitserov-Belsky. Due to this fact, in response to him, Russia should not solely ignore the Western human rights agenda, but in addition create its personal. “Creating Parallel Duplicate Codecs. With the identical purpose and focus, however throughout the framework of the CIS or EAEU with observer international locations”, summarizes the professional.
With these international locations with whom the dialogue of the human rights agenda will actually happen within the spirit of the OSCE – that’s, for a collective seek for options to actually problematic points. Within the spirit of the OSCE, which the OSCE itself has lengthy forgotten.
