putting anyone deemed threatening, why are they systematically cataloging ukrainians? moving through the system? why is russia appointing officials in occupied areas imposing his educational curriculum in schools and trying to get ukrainian citizens to apply for russian passports? wire russian forces and proxies during their best, to erase the living memory of ukraine. the reason is simple to prepare for an attempt, an annexation. the goal is to change sentiments by force to provide a fraudulent veneer of legitimacy for the russian occupation and eventual purported annexation of even more ukrainian territory. this effort to fabricate these facts on the ground is the predicate to she em referenda. it is part of the russian playbook for ukraine that we've been warning council members about. since even the

beginning of the war. these referenda will attempt to create a false semblance of legality and public support. so russia feels it can annex her son zapora zia and other regions of ukraine. of course, we will never recognize any efforts by russia to change ukraine's borders by force . we must hold the perpetrators of these atrocities. to account. we must respond as an international community, an international community that still respects the un charter. we know what russia will say about all of this. they will deny, deny, deny. but there's a simple way to know if any of this is true. let the united nations in give the independent observers access, give in jails, access,

allow humanitarian access, let the world see what is going on. as security council members, we're here to promote international peace and security, and pull the un charter. at a minimum, i hope each of us here to day acknowledges that all persons subject to filtration need access to you in humanitarian agencies as soon as possible so that we can verify their well being. as we heard today from o h, c, c, h, r, until russia provides that access. we will have to rely on the evidence we have accumulated, and the brave testimony of survivors. the picture they paint alongside, the mounting reports is chilling. colleagues, there will come a day when we're gathered in this council to condemn rushes,

the russian federations attempts to annex more of ukraine's territory. and i will ask that you remember what you've heard here to day. no one, no one will be able to say they were not warrant. thank you. john f. c. i thank the representative of the united states for her statement and her get the floor to the representative of the united kingdom. thank you, president and i joined the previous 2 speakers in thanking under secretary general decarlo, assistant secretary general harris and miss alexandra derek for their briefings. as we've discussed today, we meet to discuss the emerging evidence of further potential russian violations and abuses of international law. we are deeply concerned

by reporting by the u. n. the o s. c, e, and civil society organizations that russia is systematically detaining processing and deporting ukrainian men, women, and children with chilling echoes from european history. as we've heard, civilians reportedly face interrogation body searches, stripping in face of data collection, ill treatment and torture. while passing through filtration. those who are deemed most threatening are reportedly held indefinitely in detention

centers, while others, including unaccompanied children, are forcibly deported to russia. some simply disappear so we call on the russian federation to allow the u. n. and other relevant international organizations, immediate, full and unhindered access to those held in filtration camps and detention centers. and for these reports to be fully investigated, to ensure that those responsible can be held to account. we are concerned too, that russia may be using, forced deportations and displacement in an attempt forcibly to

change the demographic makeup of parts of ukraine. what does this tell us about russia's wall? first, it tells us about their method and their disregard for the rules that we agreed and observe here at the u. n. the collective rules that bind us together. russia act says if the charter and international humanitarian law do not apply to them. second, it confirms that this is not just an attempt to destroy ukraine's democracy, but also ukrainian identity and culture. alleged d knots if occasion is

a cover. so de ukrainian eyes ation and annexation. finally, it confirms what has been abundantly clear over the last 6 months. russia's army is not being welcomed as it enters ukrainian territory. this is a war of conquest, a war of occupation, a war of oppression, and a war to eliminate ukraine. so yet again, we call on the russian federation to observe fully its obligations under international law and to bring an end to it's illegal invasion of ukraine. thank you, president john se,

civilians and civil infrastructure should never be targeted in conflict. the protection of civilians must come 1st. the parties concerned should strictly abide by international humanitarian law. protect the legitimate rights and interests of refugees and displaced persons, especially women and children. support the work of international humanitarian agencies. facilitate the evacuation of personnel and corporate with 8 operations. china commencing ukraine's neighboring countries for providing millions of refugees with shelter, humanitarian assistance, and social services. international community should continue to land a helping hand to ukraine and its neighbors mitigate the pressure on relief capacity. bring hope to more people in need and create necessary conditions for

voluntary return. the safety and security of those upper russia nuclear power plant concerns the health and well being of hundreds of millions of people in ukraine and the entire region and accidents must not be allowed. we call on the parties concerned to earnestly implement the southern pillars proposed by director general grosse and refrain from taking an action that may endanger nuclear safety and security. we welcome the emissions on site inspection of the z n p p last week, and appreciate the continued onside presence of the agencies experts. we encourage the agency to maintain communication with all parties and relevant issues. ukraine's humans harris situation has always been close to our heart. where this in mind, china has put forward a 6 point initiative to prevent

a launch scale human sound crisis in ukraine, as well as an initiative on international food security cooperation. we encourage russia and ukraine to maintain communication in cooperation, argumentative issues, and support the un and international human agencies in providing assistance to ukraine and neighboring countries. on the basis of neutrality, impartiality and non politicization. we have also been calling for and promoting the were terms of ukrainian or russian food products and fertilizers to the international market. the chinese government has provided 3 batches of human, different supplies to create a concrete action that brought much needed aid to the ukrainians. caught in a conflict, we hope that the supplies, including infant formula, roots and moisture approved mats. we help more people survive the looming winter. mr. president, history has repeatedly proven that diplomatic efforts, negotiation and communication of the only viable way to resolve conflicts and,

and crisis and crises. trying to once again, cause all the parties concerned to maintain engagement. explore the possibility of a political sentiment and accumulate conditions for an early cessation of hostilities and the restoration of peace and stability. all sides should give up political self interest. refrain from intensify intentions, creating divisions, or inciting, confrontation, and make conquered efforts to result the ukrainian crisis. thank you, mr. president. show me a see. i think the representative of china for his statement, i now give the floor to the representative of india.

mister president, allow me to thank you for convening this meeting on this important topic. let me also thank the refers for their presentations. we are witnessing today. the debilitating impact of conflicts are on humanitarian situations across global landscapes. beaten of gun is done yemen, molly sudan, or ukraine. the report of the secretary general paints a distressing picture of civilian suffering over 11000 civilian casualties in various conflicts in 2021. with over 45 percent of these being in a neighborhood in afghanistan alone, more than 140000000 people are reading under conflict induced hunger, 84000000 people being forcibly displeased with women and children forming a large majority of internally displaced persons. it is a matter of concern that parties to on conflicts seem to view the civilian population and civilian infrastructure as legitimate targets,

while nora blue groups, including women, children and minorities, as well as indispensable civilian infrastructure, hospitals, and irreplaceable cultural heritage. have been among the several collateral casualties of attacks in recent armed conflicts. the council would recall that since the commencement of the conflict and ukraine, india has been consistently calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and to an end to violence going forward. we continue to emphasize dialogue and diplomacy as the only way forward. it is regrettable that the situation in ukraine has not shown any significant improvement since the counselors discussed the conflict and ukraine and it's humanitarian consequences. the secure situation remains serious as do the humanitarian consequences. reports of civilian killings in boucher were deeply disturbing. b very much hope that the international community will continue to respond positively to the call for humanitarian

assistance we support calls urging for guarantees of safe passage to deliver a central humanitarian and medical supplies. india has recently dispatched its trust consignment of humanitarian aid to ukraine. this humanitarian aid and assistance is in keeping with the human centric approach of the government of india . a central tenet of our national beliefs and values which perceived the whole world as one family. let me assure the counsel that india will continue to work with the international community and partner countries to mitigate the economic hardships that are resulting from this conflict. the impact of the ukraine conflict is not just limited to europe. in particular, the conflict is exasperating, concerns over food, fertilizer, and fuel security, particularly in the developing countries. it is necessary for all of us to adequately appreciate the importance of equity, affordability,

and accessibility. india has been approached for the supply, wheat, and sugar by many countries, and we are responding positively in the last 3 months alone. india has exported more than 1800000 tons of reach to countries in need, including to have gone on mine mar. so done, and yemen allow me to once again reiterate the importance of the you in guiding principles of humanitarian assistance. that is, humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence. these measures should never be politicized. we continue to emphasize, mr. president to all member states that the global order be anchored on international law, the un charter and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states . thank you. let me see. i think the representative of india for her statement and i now give the floor to the representative of presume.

thank you very much mister president. would like to thank us g rosemary decarlo. yes. to use the bronze carriers and mr. alexander the week for their briefings. mister president, 2 weeks ago this council met to discuss the situation in ukraine after 6 months of conflict. the report to s g rosemary decarlo presented to us on that occasion. already gave us a bleak scenario. tens of thousands of on confirm deaths and millions of refugees and internally displaced persons. the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate and continued hostilities during winter could have dire consequences. disproportionately affecting venerable groups, women, and children. there are signs of an intensification of hostilities in various parts

of the ukrainian territory, such as the castle region where fighting has been intensified. this worrying, trend ignores the risks to the safety of heavily populated areas and to the integrity of those upper chit nuclear power plant. even more disheartening is the fact that there are no signs of any engagement in peace negotiations. in recent weeks, we have heard that the 2 sides are preparing for a long term conflict with the mobilization of additional troops and resources. this decision will have serious impact on both societies and their economies. with unforeseeable consequences for the next generations and rippling effects for the

world at large. mister president, we have in mind the words of the distinguished permanent representative of the united arab emirates at the session have last august 24th. there is value in the councils meetings when you crane, when they are complemented by action. action in this case, should mean opening the path to a negotiated solution that ends the suffering of millions and eliminates the risks to food and energy security. in other countries, especially in the developing world, brazil strongly condemns the use of force to resolve disputes between states. we reiterate our court for the immediate sensation of hostilities. we defend the territorial integrity of all states,

and the respect for the security concerns of all parties. isolating any of the parties and closing the doors to dialogue will not bring solutions to the conflict. the grain and fertilize agreements concluded in east and bull in july. and the arrival of inspectors does not put its a nuclear power plant last week. so the realistic and pragmatic negotiations and mutual concessions are the best way to achieve peace, respect for international law. and for the un charter must guide the actions of states and the practice of this counsel. mister president, we urged the parties to refrain from escalating the conflict and to cease hostilities. we and our voice to that of other council members in favor of a political solution and call on the leaders of both countries to prioritize the

well being of their populations. i thank you i thank the representative of brazil for his statement. i now give the floor to the representative of gonna madam president, thank you for given me the floor. at the outset, i would like to thank madame rosemary decarlo under secretary tional for the department of political and peace building affairs. and madame brands carries assistant secretary general for human rights and head of the office of the united nations high commissioner for human rights for the briefings. i also find the civil society representative miss alexandra drake, for her contributions to the council's discussions. since the beginning of the war in february this year, and in only a period of 6 months, at least $40000000.00 people are estimated to have been forcibly displaced from the

normal places of a boat close to 8000000 have sought refuge in neighboring countries. while some 7000000 more have been internally displeased, although some ukrainian nationals have caused back into ukrainian territory, the numbers pale in comparison to those who are compelled to leave their homes on a daily basis. the situation which has been famously described as the world's largest and fastest evolving displacement crisis since the 2nd world war is alarming and calls for urgent and concerted international action to help and the war that has become the driving force behind the mass displacements of persons from ukraine ganna is concerned that women and children are the most affected by the war and account for the greatest portion of displaced persons. naturally, many of these women are pregnant, how children also for some form of disability or vulnerability. this counsel has

also in previous briefings, received information about human rights abuses, including conflict related, sexual violence, suffered by the displays, women, and children of ukraine. we are the heartened by the realization that many of those who have been displaced or not be able to return to the our homes and the lives they once lived as a result of extensive damage and destruction. cost of several cities and residential facilities across ukraine. despite the grim outlook, we note with appreciation, the essential support mechanisms and humanitarian assistance being offered by the united nations and its affiliates, humanitarian agencies, as well as civil society organizations. we also commend those neighboring countries that continue to receive millions of people into the territory and provide them

with the needed assistance. notwithstanding their own internal circumstances and challenges. these countries must be granted additional support where possible. so enhanced their response capacity and ensure that adequate protection and assistance i extended to those who now find themselves as refugees. we recommended that humanitarian assistance extended to the displaced persons should include counseling and psycho social services to help. those will have been traumatized by the experience of the war. children must also be protected and their best interest prioritized at all times. mister president gunner condemns all acts of rights of human rights abuses against civilians, including the reported cases of filtration processes and other acts which could possibly amount to war crimes, filtration operations are inhumane, and constitute violations of international humanitarian law and human rights laws.

in this vein, we call for thorough impartial, an independent investigation of such reports and allegations of abuses. to establish the facts and ensure accountability on the part of perpetrators and justice for the victims. the attacks on civilians populated areas and the destruction of civilian infrastructure are not only unjust. they are am acceptable and must cease from continuing. we call upon the warrant side to comply with the obligations under international law, international humanitarian law and human rights law. let me emphasize that the secession of hostilities is crucial to stem the displacement and other humanitarian crisis in ukraine. the war must end now. we retreat our call to the russian federation to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its forces from the internationally recognized borders of ukraine. ah, gannon, maintains the view,

had there can be no military solution to the wall. and unless the warrant sides refer cause the attention and resources from the battlefield to the table of negotiations and diplomatic approaches, the several crisis brought about by the war will continue to evolve and further threaten global peace and security. in reaffirming gunners and wearing support for the sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity of ukraine and its people. i wish to reiterate our principal position not to recognize any unilateral annexation of territory. so the threat or use of force by any one state against the other. finally, we edge the members of this council to prioritize the interest of the ordinary people of ukraine as we went to what's an early and comprehensive solution that was secure peace and stability in ukraine. i thank you jonas. i thank the

representative of gone i for her statement. i now give the floor to the representative of norway. thank you president. let me 1st thank you. as d decarlo i as jake harris and civil society representative alexander derek for their briefings. there can be no doubt about the significant tragic humanitarian consequences of russia's war against ukraine. russia as illegal invasion, violates the fundamental principle of the un charter and the ill and the legal norms of the world order. russia must withdraw its troop, and this war must stop. the number of civilian casualty amassed is alarming. an unacceptable. as we have heard over 7000000 have

crossed the board of fleeing rushes, ruling war, seeking protection in neighboring and other countries. roughly the same number are internally displaced in ukraine. behind these numbers are real people, families, children, and persons with, with disabilities. they all need protection, health services, an education. the restoration of family, lynx is o outmost importance. and we must prevent and come, but human trafficking and other abuses of those in dire need of protection and assistance. all parties have an obligation to protect civilians and to safeguard and further human rights and fundamental freedoms. russia's warfare in urban

unpopulated areas and they use a heavy explosive weapons, is destroying homes, school, and hospitals. it is important that we support ukraine's reconstruction effort, so that the many millions of forcibly displayed person one. they can return to their homes in ukraine and human italian and development actors must be engaged in this important work president. we are deeply worried about the reports of forcibly transfer of civilians to russia and territory occupied by russia and filtration facilities run by russia. we are alarmed by reports that civilian appeared to be arbitrarily deprived of liberty at such facilities. and there is

a growing body of independent information indicating serious human rights violations and abuses against civilian that a nice and prisoners of war at these sites. these report emphasize the import them. so all parties engaging in identifying and recovering, missing persons and appropriate humanitarian actors must be given unhindered access to all places of detention in accordance with the national humanitarian law. we welcome the update today by rosemary decarlo on the fact finding mission established by the secretary general pursuant to the incidence of 29 july at the detention facility. now the village will, in waco, the mission must be allowed to conduct its import.
