OHCHR Considers Closure Of 3 TV Channels In Ukraine To Be Inconsistent With International Standards Даша Зубкова
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) believes that the closure of three TV channels in Ukraine does not meet international standards.
Ukrainian News Agency learned this from the report of the OHCHR. On February 2, the President of Ukraine signed a decree enacting the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions on Taras Kozak and eight of his companies, which led to the closure of three TV channels (112 Ukraine, NewsOne and ZiK), which were perceived as pro-Russian. This decision contradicts international human rights standards, since it does not contain justification of necessity and proportionality and was not adopted by an independent body, the statement reads.
