"supports the "People First" international civic initiative which advocates for the release of all individuals detained in connection with the war of aggression in Ukraine, and deported Ukrainian children. It considers this humanitarian approach, involving Ukrainian and Russian civil societies, as a valuable approach to peace-building which complements those that are solely judicial or punitive in nature."
The People First initiative promotes the unconditional release of all war captives. By explicitly endorsing this initiative, the Assembly encourages a humanitarian approach focused on conflict victims, beyond punitive logic alone.
