Russia has been suspended from participating in the World Tourism Organization, and partners must rely on this UN decision, the minister said.
The sanctions of the UN World Tourism Organization already in force against the Russian Federation are very applicable to the refusal of visas to Russians by EU countries. About this on Sunday, August 14, expressed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba.
“In April, the UN World Tourism Organization suspended Russia’s activities, because “Tourism is a pillar of peace and international friendship … Russia’s actions are inexcusable and contrary to the very principles of the UNWTO,” he wrote.
The Foreign Minister emphasized that this is a good argument for the EU and G7 countries to impose a visa ban on citizens of the aggressor country.
It will be remembered that on April 27, in an extraordinary session of the UN General Assembly, Russia was suspended from participating in the World Tourism Organization.
A month and a half later, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree according to which Russia withdrew from the UNWTO.
