The Ministry of Reintegration was involved in developing the resolution. The resolution deals with the situation of Ukrainian children who were deported, forcibly transferred to russia, belarus, the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, and evacuated to European countries.

The document emphasizes that Ukraine is not a source of danger for our children. The aggressor country, russia, is responsible for the dangerous conditions that Ukrainian children face, which have forced them to leave their homeland.

Ukrainian children left their country to obtain only temporary asylum in foreign territories. They cannot be subject to Article 6 of the 1996 Convention on Jurisdiction, Law, Cooperation, and Responsibility in Respect of Children.

However, it is appropriate to apply the provisions of Article 5. This article establishes that the judicial or administrative authorities of Ukraine have exclusive jurisdiction to take all necessary measures to protect a child’s person or property.

Deporting Ukrainian children is considered a war crime, a crime against humanity, and may be considered genocide, as reinstated by the document.

The resolution supported creating an International Coalition of Countries to return Ukrainian children.

These issues were discussed at meetings of the Coordination Headquarters for the Protection of Children’s Rights under Martial Law, chaired by Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk. Based on these discussions, relevant proposals were prepared for the adopted PACE resolution.
