On the occasion of the 56th Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Human Rights Research League submitted a Written Statement on 'The Russian Federation's War of Aggression against Ukraine and Abuses of Children's Rights' (UN doc. A/HRC/56/NGO/235) to the United Nations General Assembly. The statement problematized inter alia the militarization of children as part of a Russian policy aimed at forming the loyalty of minors to the use of force in the regulation of interstate relations and underlined the particularly grave consequences of such policies for children in occupied territories. "Ukrainians, especially children, who are under the power of the aggressor state, are not only 'turned' into Russian citizens, but are being turned hostile to Ukraine and the Western world, the starkest contrast to what the Convention on the Rights of the Child envisions in Article 29, where State Parties inter alia agreed that the education of the child shall be directed at 'the development of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and for the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations". On behalf of Human Rights Research League, Viktoriia Tsymbaliuk also delivered an oral statement during the Interactive Dialogue with the High Commissioner for Human Rights, urging the international community inter alia to support Ukraine in its efforts to release and repatriate the heavily wounded and seriously ill POWs and civilians from Russian captivity, and activate international mechanisms to ensure justice.
