Ответ Анне, кто получил от нее письмо:
Dear Anna,
thank you for fast response.
After a comprehensive review of information received from you a
request to the legal support of the OSM community has been sent.
However I would like to inform you that arguments set out in your
letter namely that maps.me is just a software developer but is not
maps developer could not be accepted for the following reasons.
The Resolution #68/262 adopted by the General Assembly of United
Nation on 27 March 2014 UN about territorial integrity of Ukraine
still stays remain. According to this document the UN calls upon all
States, international organizations and specialized agencies not to
recognize any alteration of the status of the Autonomous Republic of
Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on the basis of the above-mentioned
referendum and to refrain from any action or dealing that might be
interpreted as recognizing any such altered status.
In accordance to the Law of Ukraine "On the rights and freedoms of
citizens and legal regime in the temporarily occupied territory of
Ukraine" dated 15 April 2014 the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and
Sevastopol city also is the territory of Ukraine and is considered the
territory temporarily occupied by another State.
So in accordance to the Resolution of the GA of the UN, an
international legislation and the legislation of Ukraine the
Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol still remain
the territory of Ukraine and did not change such status. Any attempt
to consider the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of
Sevastopol as a territory of the Russian Federation violates the
Resolution, an international legislation and the legislation of
Ukraine on borders and territorial integrity of UN member states and
could be interpreted as recognizing any such altered status.
As far as you may be know international criminal legislation contains
such definition called the Aiding and Abetting. Including the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol Crimea to the Russia
category in all Maps.me programs in my humble opinion fully consistent
with this definition.
Given the above I would like to ask you to review your decision and
making new one to delete the link to the map of the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol from Russia category,
leaving only in a Ukraine category because the Autonomous Republic of
Crimea and the city of Sevastopol is the territory of Ukraine. I'm
sure you have such technical possibility.
Thank you in advance. If any additional clarifications are necessary
please do not hesitate to let me know.
