Speaking on Thursday, the Kremlin's Ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said international mechanisms needed to be called upon to carry out the probe.

His call followed Wednesday's presentation of a report by prominent Swiss human rights activist Dick Marty at the UN Security Council, in which he proved that Kosovo militants had extracted organs from Serb prisoners and sold them to "black market" dealers.
