Russian FM: 'Unacceptable' to Divide Terrorists Into 'Good and Bad Ones'

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about the international terrorism as well as the current situation in Syria during his address to the High-Level Segment of the 37th Session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

Some members of the UN Human Rights Council aren't ready to condemn the international terrorism under the pretext of upholding the freedom of speech, Lavrov said, adding that the international community shouldn't divide terrorists on "good and bad ones", RIA Novosti reported.

"The manifest unwillingness of some Council members to unequivocally condemn international terrorism in all of its forms and manifestations under the pretext of upholding freedom of expression is striking. We believe that dividing terrorists into the ‘good' and ‘bad' ones is unacceptable, especially when it is done depending on the extremists' proclaimed objectives or sources of financing," Lavrov stressed.

The Minister added that Russia would continue fighting against such double standards.
