Full -scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine demonstrated the crisis of the international system of protection of fundamental human rights, and it is necessary to look for ways to reform it - Andriy Yermak

Presidential Head Andriy Yermak emphasizes that Ukraine will necessarily have the punishment of all those who are guilty of crimes against Ukrainians during a full -scale war, resolved by Russia, and will continue to continue to return all prisoners and deported Ukrainian citizens. He said this in the course of the discussion panel "War Against Human Rights" within the framework of the International Conference "UA: Human Rights in Darish Time" in Kiev.

The Head of the Presidential Office recalled that 74 years ago, the UN General Assembly approved the text of the Convention on the Prevention of and Punishment for the Crime of Genocide, and on December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. “At that time, humanity was sought to be bloody crimes of the Second World War and sought to prevent them again.

But, unfortunately, today Ukraine has been experiencing a horror of genocide again, because for almost nine years Russia has been running a war against us, ”he said. Andriy Yermak emphasized that today the President's office, the Ombudsman office, the coordination headquarters on the management of prisoners of war are working on the return of every Ukrainian hero, every citizen home.

According to him, Ukraine is dissatisfied with the work of those international organizations, through which our state could have all the necessary information, to influence the conditions of Ukrainian captives and what is happening to them, the fate of illegally deported Ukrainian children. First of all, it is about the International Committee of the Red Cross. “Mass deportation of children is a clear proof of the genocide of the Ukrainian people.

This is how the International Convention on Genocide Crime defines, ”the presidential office said. Andriy Yermak recalled that the Coordination Council for the Protection of Children's Rights, which unites the efforts of all state bodies of Ukraine. In his opinion, other countries, international organizations and people around the world also have to consolidate efforts to identify and return home to Ukrainian children.

The head of the Presidential Office is convinced that all available facts demonstrate the undeniable importance of creating an international tribunal regarding the crime of Russia's aggression against Ukraine. “I would like to thank our partners - many parliaments have already supported it. And I think this path will continue. And all who gave the orders, all who performed them, who killed them should be responsible for it.

Believe me, we will not forget anyone, we will not forget about anyone, ”he said. Andriy Yermak said that in order to intensify international efforts, an information human rights headquarters have been created, which on a regular basis should publish data on human rights abuses during Russian aggression important to the world human rights community.

In addition, the head of the Presidential Office is convinced that after this war in the world will change much, and the international community requires a kind of "service 911", when every country that is in a situation such as today Ukraine could get fast, specific and effective help. “We are ready to form missions with partners that will come and control the conditions in which the captives are now, to solve different issues very quickly. Because it is about human lives, ”he emphasized.

The First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Emine Dzhaparova noted that when, since 2014, in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea, human rights were massively violated and the world did not pay due attention to it, what was seen by everyone from February 24, 2022. “President Volodymyr Zelenskyy constantly says that it all began with Crimea and end with Crimea.

On his initiative, we created an unprecedented format of the Crimean platform, which brought the topic of Crimea to a high international agenda. Its purpose is to de -occupation of Crimea, and I am sure that we are de -occupying the Crimea, we will restore justice, we will not only start the compensatory mechanisms and the tribunal, but in general we will change the whole system of collective security, ”she is convinced.

The President of the International Institute of Ombudsmen (IOI), Ombudsman Australia Chris Ford noted that his colleagues from all over the world will support Ukraine and do so not only when full -scale aggression of Russia, but also after the victory of our country, since the Russian Federation has already committed many military It does this.

The head of the UN Human Rights Mission in Ukraine, Matilda Boer, noted that the figures for the victims of the war are much larger than those that have now documented the UN. According to her, the relevant representatives of the United Nations will continue to visit all the territories of Ukraine, which will have access, including those that the Ukrainian state has returned under control.

Olga Aivazovskaya, the chairman of the Board of the Opora Civic Network, believes that today in Ukraine the greatest protection in Ukraine needs the right to life, education and choice. In her opinion, the right to life will not be protected until the responsibility system is effective. “If there is no special tribunal for aggression, Russia will not be responsible.

And this decision is the hope of Ukrainian society, because the inevitability of responsibility is the basic principle for the protection of rights, ”Olga Aivazovskaya said. The head of the medical service of the 501st Marine Infantry Battalion, Maryana Mamonova, said that staying in places of maintenance such as a colony in Olenivka in the occupied territory of Donetsk region, deprives people of all possible rights, and various methods of violence are used.
