According to her, only those who committed war crimes should be excluded.
UN Special Rapporteur on Cultural Rights Alexandra Xantaki said Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine should be allowed to compete in the Paris Olympics if they have not committed war crimes.
At an IOC-organized teleconference, she said that only Russians directly involved in crimes against humanity or war propaganda should be excluded from international competitions, writes The Guardian .
“I don’t think it makes sense to exclude all Russian soldiers and all Russian military. It is discrimination because there were many other athletes [from other countries]… in active combat and they were never excluded. However, every athlete should be excluded, if he is found guilty of atrocities, serious violations of human rights during the war, including crimes against humanity and genocide, and can also be expelled if found guilty of promoting war, but on an individual basis,” she said.
Ukrainian skeletonist Vladislav Geraskevich said that Xantaki’s words sounded “pretty crazy”. “And it was clear from the questions she received that many others were shocked that she was in favor of the Russians being able to compete despite their illegal war,” he said.

Rubles for principles!
For creatures like her, it would be no problem letting Nazi Germany to participate in the Olympics. For creatures like her, it’s not a crime in itself for a soldier to participate in a war that her own organization calls illegal.
For the life of me, I don’t know why the russia has so many fans of its fascism, after the horror that another fascist covered the world with. Very much of humanity has learned nothing.
Typical of the UN to hire a far left Greek putlerite skank for such a role.
Those who work for the interests of nazi RuZZia are as guilty of genocide as the perpetrators.
