Origin

2024 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 1.2, second sentence, replace the words "only ethnic Kazakhs, who may well have been targeted by the Kremlin for similar reasons, suffered comparable loss of life" with the following sentences:

"The former USSR leadership intentionally implemented policies that led to famine in Ukraine, aiming to completely suppress any Ukrainian resistance to the totalitarian communist regime, subjugate the Ukrainian people, and extinguish their aspirations and efforts to establish an independent Ukrainian State. Just as the Russian Federation's armed forces are doing today, the Stalinist regime in 1932-1933 perpetrated criminal acts on Ukrainian territory against the civilian population, with the obvious intent of destroying, in whole or in part, the Ukrainian people as a distinct national community."
