West will not adjust the world to its human rights standards, Lukashenko said

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that Western countries will not be able to adjust the whole world to the standards they have invented in the field of human rights observance.

“Please give me these standards. These are standards invented by you, in the West. And you want to fit the whole world to these standards. Calm down, this will not work,” Lukashenko said in an interview with CNN television, excerpts of which are quoted on the official website of the President of Belarus.

The head of the Belarusian state is convinced that there are no universal standards in this area. The Belarusian president drew analogies with attempts to create uniform standards for the conduct of elections.

“There are no standards. Russia and I proposed: let’s work out within the framework of the OSCE standards for evaluating certain elections. You did not agree, because you have your own standards. It is the same with human rights,” he stated.

At the same time, President Lukashenko drew attention to the facts of human rights violations, recorded, among other things, in the United States itself, as well as in the countries of the American presence.

“You killed 12 people in Afghanistan (talking about an erroneous missile strike near the Kabul airport – ed.). Did you see how people clung to the chassis and died in Kabul? You killed people there for 20 years. So calm down about deaths, deaths and so on”, – said the Belarusian president.
