Foreign diplomats were invited to the Foreign Ministry of Belarus for a briefing on human rights.
On 9 March, a briefing on human rights issues for representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in the country was held at the Belarusian Foreign Ministry. The event was conducted by Deputy Foreign Minister Ihar Sakreta.
Sakreta drew attention to the “high conflict potential and provocative nature of the human rights agenda in international relations,” and also stated that discussions of country-specific situations at the United Nations Human Rights Council are increasingly marked by politicization, confrontation and bloc thinking.
The Belarusian deputy foreign minister presented Minsk’s position on human rights issues and said it is based on the belief that “human rights should be viewed primarily as a space for constructive interaction rather than political confrontation.”
The Foreign Ministry also reaffirmed “Belarus’s commitment to dialogue, strengthening trust and developing international cooperation in the field of human rights.”
