Russia to be grilled on fate of forcibly deported Ukrainian children at UN Committee

The UN Committee seeks to determine how many children have been deported to Russia or within Russian-occupied territories, as well as what Russia has done to protect “the right of such children to preserve their identity, including nationality, name and family relations."

Since last February, nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children have been identified as #abducted from Russian-occupied territories and sent to other Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine, or to Russia itself

Russia to be grilled on fate of forcibly deported Ukrainian children at UN Committee

Russia is set to respond to questions posed by various countries on the fate of forcibly deported Ukrainian children at the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child on Jan. 23.

Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children is an established genocidal tactic during war

Russia’s forceful displacement of Ukrainians is a centuries-tested practice of conquest.

Von Guttner Sporzynski highlights that the tradition of abduction and forced displacement of the non-conformist population is deeply rooted in Russia’s history.

He starts from the 16th century, when the first deportations of citizens of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania started, then follows to 19th -century Poland, where around 60,000 people were deported following two anti-Russian rebellions, and ends with the 20th century:

“It is estimated that between 1936 and 1952 at _least three million people were deported across the western territories of Soviet Russia and transported thousands of kilometres away to Siberia and Central Asia.”_ Von Guttner Sporzynski concludes that the children who get abducted today from Ukraine may not find their way back home after the war ends.
