• Leonid Raihman: UN Human Rights Committees decision is a positive precedent

Chas prints an interview with Leonid Raihman who recently won a case against Latvia in the UN Human Rights Committee objecting the Latvianisation of his name. As reported, the Committee decided that the Latvianisation of non-Latvian names and surnames (adding ending -s) in official documents issued in Latvia is interference in private life. Mr. Raihman believes that this decision is a positive precedent by international bodies.
