Why Ukraine Has Not Supported the Declaration of the United Nations on the Rights of the Radical People

Ukraine — the unitary state with absence of political independence in administrative and territorial units. Declarations of Genassambly of the United Nations have no legislative force for Kiev and do not impose on it any obligations.

It was declared in interview to a weekly journal «Voice of Crimea» by the chairman of the State committee on affairs of nationalities and religions Jury Reshetnikov.

Answering a question why together with «the former colonial powers» Ukraine has refrained from voting at acceptance of Genassambly of the United Nations «Declarations on the rights of radical nations of the world», Kiev official has reminded that according to p.1 item 2 of the constitution Ukraine — the unitary state:

«For Ukraine the political unity, uniform system of authorities in all territory, absence of political independence in administrative and territorial units» are characteristic.

Borders of powers of the Crimean autonomy are defined by section Х of the constitution of Ukraine.

From here, Reshetnikov has explained, «the position of the Ukrainian state at the international negotiations follows: Ukraine has refrained from voting a draught resolution of 12th session of the United Nations under human rights« Human rights and the radical people », Declarations of the United Nations on the rights of the radical people (2007г., № 61/295), Conventions of the International organisation of work about the radical people which conduct a breeding way of life in the independent countries.

Declarations of Genassambly of the United Nations, the official has underlined, have no legislative force for the states and do not impose the obligation on the governments. According to article 11 of the constitution of Ukraine the state promotes consolidation and development of the Ukrainian nation. And according to organic law article 92, the questions connected with the status of the radical people, are defined exclusively by laws of Ukraine.

«A position of Ukraine in this question simple and accurate: the international documents should not become the base to separative moods and infringement of territorial integrity of the state», — the chairman of the State clod summarised.
