Origin
2026 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 17.1, insert the following paragraph:

"recalls that the Russian Federation has repeatedly compelled Ukrainian civilians in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to participate in so-called electoral processes, including local elections in 2023, and presidential “elections” in 2024. Such practices violate fundamental principles of international law, including the Charter of the United Nations, and further undermine any claim to the legitimacy of these elections;"
