Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia has announced pre-trial claims against Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia over discrimination against Russians in these countries.
“We will use all available international judicial mechanisms against unfriendly states that systematically discriminate against Russian compatriots,” Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.
The diplomat noted that the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination of 1965 also provides opportunities for the use of judicial mechanisms.
“Pre-trial claims have already been filed against Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in connection with the gross violation of the rights of Russians in contravention of this convention,” – added the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neo-colonial system, showing their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
