Today, the Council of the Republic declared about the unacceptability of imposing any sanctions on our country.
"Adoption of the bill on Belarus in the USA, in violation of the UN Charter, is interference in the internal affairs of the country and a threat to international peace and security, reads the statement of the upper house of the Belarusian parliament.
"American legislators, hiding behind the protection of human rights, are trying to put direct pressure on the Belarusian authorities in a situation when there is still a dispute in the United States about the outcome of the last presidential election. Proclaiming their own monopoly on the truth, they are unwilling to understand the events taking place in our country and to hear the Belarusian parliamentarians .
The statement of the Council of the Republic also notes that the world community has unconditionally recognized Belarus a sovereign, stable and economically developed state and a serious donor of regional security.
"American legislators, showing "fatherly concern" for the Belarusian people, should pay attention to the problems of their own voters, especially in the context of the growing pandemic of COVID-19, protection of media freedom and freedom of expression in the country and in their constituencies. The passage of the anti-Belarusian bill poses a threat to international peace and security."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country considers such steps of the Americans as "dictatorship of human rights". They called the U.S. decision emotional and having nothing to do with the actual state of affairs. The sanctions tool is obviously useless and counterproductive. But our response measures have already been prepared and will be implemented," underlined the statement of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.
