Citing a flagrant violation of international law, the UN has demanded that Russia immediately stop the forcible transfer of children from the occupied areas of Ukraine. Moscow has been asked by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to return the children to their families and to provide vital information regarding their whereabouts.<\/p>\n
Ukraine claims that 20,000 children have been abducted into Russia without their families\u2019 permission. In a thorough report, the UN committee has insisted that Russia guarantee the safe return of the children to their families and provide the exact number of youngsters taken from Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The committee also underlined the necessity of maintaining the identity, name, and familial ties of any Ukrainian child and demanded that Russia ensure that no child loses their Ukrainian nationality.<\/p>\n
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia\u2019s commissioner for children\u2019s rights, now have arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for suspected illegal deportations. The International Criminal Court\u2019s decision highlights how serious the situation is and represents a major step towards holding individuals accused of being involved in the contentious conduct accountable.<\/p>\n
However, the Kremlin firmly refutes these charges, calling them \u201coutrageous and unacceptable.\u201d There are worries about the continued situation in the region as Russia\u2019s official position runs counter to the growing body of evidence and international criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
