The bill on South Ossetia's accession to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction was discussed in the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-parliamentary Relations of the Republic of South Ossetia. This was reported by the press service of the legislative body.
The head of the Committee, Zaza Driaev, has reminded that at the meeting of the Committee on November 29, 2022, was considered the issue of the appeal of the chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the parliaments of the countries of the world on the need to strengthen the regime of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction.
“Our Committee made a decision to come up with a legislative initiative to submit to the Parliament of the Republic a draft law on the accession of the Republic of South Ossetia to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction of December 16, 1971. After registering the legislative initiative, the Committee developed a draft law with relevant documents,” Driaev has stressed.
The Committee also discussed the appeal of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the parliaments of the countries of the world and international parliamentary organizations in connection with the ongoing attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
Driaev read out an appeal stating that Ukraine's actions in relation to the ZNPP cannot be described otherwise than as nuclear terrorism, bringing destruction and death.
“The multiple statements by representatives of the Russian Federation in the UN Security Council, the IAEA decision-making bodies, and other major international venues about the destructive activities that threaten all of humanity, which are carried out by armed Ukrainian neo-Nazis and foreign mercenaries in relation to the ZNPP, remain without a proper response. The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation demands from the military and political leadership of Ukraine an immediate cessation of any attacks on the ZNPP and related critical infrastructure,” Driaev quoted the appeal.
He has noted that the Federation Council is appealing to the parliaments of the countries of the world and international parliamentary organizations to condemn the policy of the Kyiv authorities and demand the end to aggressive actions that threaten the security of Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
Both questions were approved by deputies unanimously.
The meeting of the Committee was attended by Minister of Foreign Affairs Akhsar Dzhioev and a representative of the government in the Parliament Zurab Kokoev.
