“I emphasized the protection of the rights of Ukrainian children, against whom Russia is committing the entire spectrum of genocide: from deportation to the creation of children’s torture camps in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In order to protect our future generation, it is necessary to adopt the relevant PACE resolutions,” explained the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
Dmytro Lubinets stated that the Russian Federation daily violates the fundamental rights of Ukrainians – to life and safety, and this should not go unpunished. In this regard, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights thanked the PACE Chairman for the unanimous support of the PACE Resolution on the establishment of a special international criminal tribunal to prosecute the highest political and military leadership of Russia and Belarus for committing the crime of aggression against Ukraine.
In addition, Dmytro Lubinets pointed out, the social and economic rights of Ukrainians are being violated, so the call of PACE to all the states of the Council of Europe to create, in cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities, an international compensation mechanism, including a register of damages, is needed.
At the same time, the PACE Chairman Tiny Kox also commented on the discussion with the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
“Thank you very much Dmytro Lubinets, Ombudsman for Human Rights of Ukraine for today’s meeting & for the so useful work you are doing, making sure crimes against victims of the war by Russia against Ukraine are documented, especially the dramatic situation of abducted children,” tweeted Tiny Kox.
