   UNPO EMAIL NEWS 002 -  HCHR Statement on Chechnya
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Statement by Mary Robinson United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Geneva, 16 November 1999

I view the situation in Chechnya, Russian Federation with a sense of
mounting concern.

I have been closely following the situation in the Northern Caucasus and I
am disturbed that serious violations of human rights and of humanitarian law
are taking place there. I share the concern of the Russian government in the
combat against terrorism, but this should be appropriately directed.

I echo the words of the Secretary General in his statement to the General
Assembly this year when he referred to "the principle that massive,
systematic violations of human rights --- wherever they might take place --
should not be allowed to stand." I have called on the Russian Government to
take immediate measures to protect the civilian population.
