This is said in the joint statement on behalf of 40 countries made during the 39th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the UNO Branch and other International Organizations in Geneva published the statement on its website.
“The Russian Federation must uphold human rights in Crimea, respect its obligations as an Occupying Power under international humanitarian law, and grant full and unimpeded access to Crimea for international and regional monitoring mechanisms. We call on the Russian Federation to comply with its obligations under international law reaffirmed in UNGA resolutions 71/205 and 72/190, as well as with the Order of the International Court of Justice of 19 April 2017,” the statement reads.
