Russia: National Minorities

Volume 698: debated on Monday 4 February 2008

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they supported the resolution of the Council of Ministers of May 2007 (CM/Res CMN(2007)7) on the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in Russia; and whether the Government of Russia have responded to that judgment. [HL1539]

The UK joined the consensus in the Committee of Ministers on adoption of the resolution on the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in Russia. During discussion on the draft resolution Russia accepted the resolution and underlined that it would continue to work on protection of minorities and would publish the second opinion on Russia of the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.
