Origin
2025 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 12.8, insert the following paragraph:

"calls on member States as well as observer States and States whose parliaments enjoy observer or partner for democracy status with the Assembly to ensure that sanctions regimes comprehensively target the full chain of responsibility for international crimes committed against Ukrainian children by including all individuals and institutions—recorded by Ukrainian and partner States’ law-enforcement agencies—that are directly or indirectly involved in the deportation, forcible transfer, unjustified delay in repatriation, unlawful adoption or guardianship, as well as the re-education, indoctrination, and militarisation of these children. Such regimes must be consistently applied, regularly reviewed, and co-ordinated across jurisdictions to prevent enforcement gaps and circumvention. The Assembly encourages member States to harmonise efforts, including through the establishment of a mechanism for countering crimes against Ukrainian children."
