While peace negotiations on Ukraine have been reshaped since the election of US President Trump, Members of the DROI subcommittee, the Delegation to the EU-Russia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee and the Delegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association Committee will exchange on Monday 7 April with Mariana Katzarova, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation and Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize Centre for Civil Liberties.
Scheduled from 15.00 to 16.30, the exchange will focus on the importance, if peace is to be sustainable, of ensuring that human rights priorities are integrated into discussions on a potential peace arrangement in Ukraine and of supporting international justice for ensuring accountability of perpetrators of aggression, war crimes and other breaches of international humanitarian law. The debate will be an opportunity to recall that Russian Federation's breaches of human rights - such as torture, enforced disappearance, deportation, rape and acculturation of children - are not only a domestic issue but have profound implications for peace and security, in Ukraine and beyond the region. It is organised by the DROI subcommittee in association with the two delegations.
