Moldova, in the status of the Chair of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development GUAM, has urged the international community to be more vocal about the protection of the fundamental rights of people affected by conflicts in the GUAM area.
This was announced by Moldovan Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Tudor Ulianovschi when presenting the joint statement of the four GUAM member states - Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova at the 37th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
He stressed that efforts to protect the human rights of all citizens of the GUAM member states are hindered by the ongoing conflicts and violations of the territorial integrity.
Moldova assumed the Chairmanship of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development GUAM on Jan. 1.
The Organization for Democracy and Economic Development GUAM was established on May 23, 2006, at the first Summit of GUAM in Kyiv. Cooperation between Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova started with the GUAM consultative forum, established on October 10, 1997 in Strasbourg.
