UN Human Rights Council 54: UK Statement on Ukraine
Statement for the Interactive Dialogue on the High Commissioner鈥檚 oral update on Ukraine. Delivered by the UK's Ambassador to the WTO and UN, Simon Manley.
Thank you, Mr President,
Let me be clear. 皇冠体育app UK stands steadfast with the State and People of Israel. Terrorism cannot - will not - prevail.聽
Mr President,
We condemn the depraved killing of more than 50 civilians in Hroza. 皇冠体育appre seems to be no low to which Russia will not stoop.
Russia鈥檚 claims to sovereign Ukrainian territory will never be recognised. Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson are Ukraine.
皇冠体育app human rights violations committed by Russia in these regions are grave. Civilians tortured, raped and killed; homes, hospitals and schools shelled.
皇冠体育app forced transfer and deportation of innocent Ukrainian children to Russia and Russian-controlled territory.
Or its relentless attacks on Ukrainian grain and ports. Taking food out of the mouths of the world鈥檚 poorest in pursuit of its war of aggression
Representatives of Russia, do you not realise that this will be your legacy?
Destroyers of grain.
Executioners of the innocent.
Thieves of children.
皇冠体育app world sees what you are doing.
Russia must stop this needless suffering. Bring your troops home. End this war.
Deputy High Commissioner, faced with Russia鈥檚 continued acts of horror against the innocent, how can the OHCHR ensure that the needs of those in Russian-controlled Ukrainian territory are met?
