  1. “In the name of the millions of people who have died, those yet unborn and the surviving residents of Ukraine, a United Nations Member since 1945, we are required to rephrase and give a new sense to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” to live in peace.”

  2. “All of them urgently need adequate temporary or permanent accommodations, especially for the cold autumn and winter periods. Those who chose not to leave their damaged homes must receive much-needed tangible support, such as construction materials, tools, plastic wrapping and physical help. In addition, such unprecedented massive destruction of civilian infrastructure requires durable solutions from the Ukrainian authorities, with the support of the international community. We call on all members of the Security Council, international organizations and Governments to firmly support the people of Ukraine in these dark times.”

  3. “Stateless persons and third-country nationals who had previously found refuge in Ukraine must also be granted protection alongside Ukrainians. Finally, it is of paramount importance to recall the vast number of IDPs, many of whom may not even have a roof over their heads. In many cases, the conditions of temporary accommodations do not comply with the basic norms of adequate shelter. IDPs live in collective or transit centres established in schools or places of common use that are often not designed to provide shelter during cold periods. Over 32 million square metres of housing and other properties were destroyed, damaged or occupied. Despite the massive destruction that the world has seen in Bucha, Irpin, Chernihiv and Kharkiv, thousands of civilians either returned or never left their damaged homes.”

  4. “Relatives cannot always prove the deaths of their loved ones — even if they witnessed that person’s final moments. The international community must assist the Government of Ukraine in establishing and enforcing appropriate measures for investigation and prosecution — because each life is priceless and relatives deserve to know the truth. I want to mention the Ukrainians who have fled Ukraine, seeking safety and security in the European Union and other countries of the civilized world. Those Ukrainians — overwhelmingly women and children — must not be overlooked. We must promote their rights, provide them shelter, protect them from human trafficking and ensure their access to services, including psychological help.”

  5. “The world was shaken by stories of little boys as young as 4 or 5 crossing the State border alone or, in the best-case scenario, with barely familiar people. Ukraine and recipient countries should assume responsibility for protecting those vulnerable little Ukrainians so that they can safely cross State borders, supported by specially trained State officers and child service representatives. Recipient countries must guarantee their protection at the highest level; family reunification should be pursued; and their safe and timely return to the Ukraine after the war must be ensured. The number of killed and injured civilians is ever- increasing. The destinies of dozens of thousands of people in Mariupol, Kherson, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Irpin are unknown.”

  6. “They were forcibly displaced without documents or means of communication and were exposed to “filtration” by the Russian Federation. In the two most recent months, more than 1 million people suffered that fate, including approximately 200,000 children. It must be ensured that those who are willing to come back to Ukraine or travel to other countries have the ability to do so. The challenges that children and their parents have experienced in the face of war are overwhelming. Right to Protection received calls via our hotline of parents ready to send their children abroad with complete strangers out of desperation because of the Russian atrocities being carried out in Kharkiv, Mariupol and other cities.”

  7. “In order to maintain that goal, Ukraine and the whole civilized world will face immense challenges caused by the military invasion of the Russian Federation. The war has lasted eight years. In 2021, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine, including the occupied territories of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, officially reached almost 1.5 million. At the end of April, the International Organization for Migration reported that the number of internally displaced persons as a result of the full- scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine reached 7.7 million. They all carried the same heavy burden of displacement. They all need equal protection. We must also not forget the Ukrainians — from Mariupol, Chernihiv, Sievierodonetsk and other cities and villages — who were forcibly displaced to the Russian Federation.”

  8. “Ms. Luzan: It is a great honour today to represent Ukraine’s civil society, which mobilized in the first hours after the full-scale Russian invasion of 24 February, as they did before for eight years of the war. Our joint efforts are aimed at supporting brave Ukrainians fighting at the forefront, as well as in public offices in Lviv, Kyiv and Kramatorsk. They consist of volunteers, municipal workers planting flowers in Kharkiv and other cities in Ukraine under heavy shelling. They are railway workers evacuating people away from hostilities and death. They are bakers, cashiers and grocers and all people affected by the war. All Ukrainians are now beating as one big heart. In the chaos of war, no one should be left behind. People, their lives, health, honour, dignity and security will always be our greatest value.”
