Commissioner: the occupiers are trying to erase the Ukrainian identity in the minds of children

The shameful policy of militarization of children on the territory of Crimea continues.  The formation of the ideology of rashism is carried out in kindergartens.

Educators on the temporarily occupied peninsula are being forced to conduct explanatory training with children about the "special operation" in Ukraine.  The ideology of the struggle against nationalists and nazis on the example of Ukraine is imposed in a playful way.  Thus, they are trying to erase the Ukrainian identity in the minds of children.

In kindergartens, children are forced to draw posters with rashist symbols "Z".

Also, by order of the management of educational institutions, educators are obliged to learn from children about the attitude of their parents to the "special operation" in Ukraine.  When "unreliable" parents are identified, the information is submitted to the occupation punitive authorities.

Such actions of the occupier violate the provisions of the IV Geneva Convention and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of violations of the rights of Ukrainian children.
