We would like to express our recognition of the international community’s will to put end to human rights violations in the Chechen Republic. We recognize the importance and significance of the work done to ensure the responsibility of those who involved in the alleged crimes committed. At the same time, we consider it important to note that the report OSCE Rapporteur’s Report under the Moscow Mechanism on alleged Human Rights Violations and Impunity in the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation widely uses the abbreviation LGBTI, which was duplicated in a number of media statements. This statement explains why that practice seems to us problematic.
