Maria Lvova-Belova, Commissioner for Children’s Rights to the Russian President, will speak remotely at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council on the topic of children evacuated from the Ukrainian conflict zone. This was reported in the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the organization.
The meeting will take place on April 5. The meeting on the “Arria formula” will be held at the initiative of the Russian side. It is supposed to provide objective information on the situation of children in the conflict zone.
In March, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Maria Lvova-Belova. She was charged with “unlawful transfer of children”. The Ombudsman said she did not know what cases they were talking about. According to her, the ICC representatives did not contact her, did not give her any materials and documents.
Meanwhile, the Russian investigative commission opened a criminal case against the ICC prosecutor and judges. The reason for this is the decision to arrest without the absence of grounds for criminal liability.
