Origin
2025 - Third part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 4.6, insert the following paragraph:

"in violation of international humanitarian law, the Russian Federation continues the colonisation of the occupied territories by encouraging hundreds of thousands of its own citizens to participate in it, including through federal programs such as "Zemsky Teacher," "Zemsky Doctor," and "Zemsky Cultural Worker." These initiatives are part of the aggressor State’s policy aimed at the forcible change of the demographic composition of the population and significantly complicate processes of de-occupation and the restoration of peace. Such actions represent a violation of the international obligations of the Russian Federation and a separate war crime, and should have legal consequences."
