Possible suspension of Russian UNWTO membership may become dangerous precedent: UN

Earlier, the potential suspension of Russia's membership in the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) might set a bad precedent, according to UN Secretary-General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has just resolved to conduct an extraordinary meeting of its general assembly to explore the possibility of suspending Russia's membership due to the military operation in Ukraine.

"As you know the Secretary-General has no role or authority over the UN World Tourism Organization, which is a specialized agency of the UN system. However, it is his belief that this could set a detrimental precedent to the functioning of the multilateral system," Dujarric said.
