2026 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 2 with the following paragraph:

"The Assembly deplores Russia's refusal to agree to an immediate ceasefire as a prerequisite for genuine negotiations, and the escalation of its war of aggression against Ukraine, through ever more war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. Russia is intensifying its drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructures, including massive strikes on Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv, resulting in numerous civilian casualties. As winter sets in, Russia is relentlessly targeting the country's critical infrastructure and energy networks in an attempt to undermine the population's exceptional resilience. Russia is also endangering the nuclear security of Ukraine and the continent by occupying and militarising the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The Assembly further notes that Russia’s systematic attacks on civilian infrastructures constitute a deliberate policy of terror and inhuman treatment directed at spreading fear among civilians, as confirmed by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia."

Explanatory note

Сrimes against humanity must be included in the text in parallel with war crimes. Also, the ECHR’s legal conclusion will clearly underline that the primary aim of Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure is to terrorise the civilian population.
