Russia is expelled from the third international ombudsman organization
Sep 26, 2024
The General Assembly of the Association of Mediterranean Ombudsmen on Wednesday, September 25, approved the decision to expel Russian Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova from its membership.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Telegram of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets.
“Today, at an extraordinary meeting of the General Assembly of the Association of Mediterranean Ombudsmen, they approved a decision to expel the Russian ombudsman from its membership,” Lubinets said.
He noted that this is the third ombudsman organization to expel Russia. The first to do so was the International Institute of Ombudsmen in August 2022, and the European Network of National Protection Institutions in April 2023.
“While the UN Security Council is afraid to even start the procedure of expelling Russia, the friendly family of ombudsmen is confidently acting. If international organizations follow suit, Russia's representatives will be isolated and will not be able to spread their propaganda,” the ombudsman emphasized.-
Lubinets noted that a terrorist country should not have a voice on the world stage.
