Adopting deported Ukrainian children in Russia is a crime from the point of view of international law, lawyer Maria Chashchilova explains. “This is considered genocide and violates paragraph (e) of Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: ‘forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.’ These children often have relatives or guardians in Ukraine who have lost contact with them, and in the case of children from orphanages, the guardians are officials of these institutions. Under international law, the parties to the conflict must provide relatives and guardians with information about the missing ones and assist in the search for them.”
I think there’s a shortage of healthy babies in Russia as that’s the case in most of the world. I’d also suspect that if you steal them there’s less chance of legal red tape.
I would have thought all the forged papers necessary would be hard enough but maybe it is easier than the straight path.
The thing with russia, is that the corruption is all over the government.
That’s right. I just assumed that that in itself would eliminate red tape for the corrupt.
