The return of children illegally deported or forcibly displaced by the Russian Federation is an unconditional priority for the diplomatic, legal, and humanitarian efforts of Ukraine and its international partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ukrinform<\/a>, this is stated in a statement by the Council for Human Rights, Gender Equality, and Diversity at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following a joint meeting with Bring Kids Back UA, published on the\u00a0website of the Office of the President<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We, the participants of the meeting of the Council on Human Rights, Gender Equality and Diversity at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine \u2013 representatives of state authorities, international organisations, the diplomatic corps, civil society, and the expert community \u2013 declare: the return of children illegally deported or forcibly transferred by the Russian Federation is an unequivocal priority of Ukraine\u2019s diplomatic, legal, and humanitarian efforts, as well as those of its international partners. This is critical to the promotion and protection of children\u2019s rights, as well as a matter of dignity, justice and the nation\u2019s future,” the document states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The applicants also call on the international community to increase pressure on Russia to ensure the immediate return of Ukrainian children<\/a>. At the same time, it is emphasized that the best interests of the child are the primary priority in all efforts, and gender sensitivity and consideration of the specific needs of children of different ages and experiences must be integrated into all rehabilitation and reintegration policies and measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signatories stated \u201cthe importance of information and public advocacy, supporting campaigns to counter Russian disinformation around the world, in particular countering attempts to justify the abduction of Ukrainian children.\u201d They also called on international partners to continue to publicly highlight this issue at key international forums (the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are united in our conviction that the protection of the rights of Ukrainian children must remain high on the international agenda until all Ukrainian citizens are fully released from the control of the aggressor state, safely returned home and all rights guaranteed by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are fully upheld,” the document states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by Ukrinform, as of the end of May, 1,324 Ukrainian children who had been deported<\/a> or forcibly displaced to the aggressor country were returned from Russia and the temporarily occupied territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
