[03] UN - Human Rights - Cyprus
Nicosia, Aug 16 (CNA) -- Greece's Representative to the UN Human Rights
Commission Dr Erica-Irene A. Daes, has said that a just solution to the
Cyprus problem, based on the relevant UN resolutions would restore the
territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus, the respect of the human
rights and fundamental freedoms of all Cypriots.
Speaking recently before the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection
of Human Rights, in Geneva, Daes referred to the mass violations of human
rights in Cyprus by Turkey underlining the importance of the European Court
of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling, on 10 May, 2001, in the Fourth Interstate
Application of Cyprus against Turkey, by which Ankara was found guilty of
continuous gross human rights violations in Cyprus, as a result of the
occupation of the island's northern part, since Turkey invaded it in 1974.
