Russia accused the United States on Wednesday of failing to issue visas to its delegates at the United Nations and restricting the movement of its diplomats, calling for arbitration over what it said were "violations" of U.N. law.
In an interview with the RIA news agency, Russian foreign ministry official Pyotr Ilyichev said the U.S. had failed to comply with the 1947 U.N. Headquarters Agreement, which prohibits most restrictions on diplomats' access to the U.N.
