Origin

2024 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 2, insert the following paragraph:

"At the same time, the Russian Federation applies imperialist and colonial policies on its own territory towards numerous indigenous peoples, erasing their cultural identities by Russification, restricting the use of their languages, reducing the domains of use of their national cultures, distorting their history and replacing it with an imperial version of history, denying their historical agency and depriving them of historical memory, by declaring that the Russian Federation is equivalent to Russia and that all indigenous peoples are Russians, and by prosecuting and capturing their national activists."
