Today, Malta 🇲🇹 joined 40 other participating States of the OSCE – The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe in invoking the Moscow Mechanism in relation to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine 🇺🇦.
This latest invocation focuses on Russia’s treatment of Ukrainian children through policies of indoctrination and militarization in Russia and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The Moscow Mechanism is one of the OSCE’s tools for investigating possible human rights violations across the OSCE area. Following the invocation, a group of independent experts is mandated to examine the situation on the ground and produce an objective report with findings and recommendations.
Malta remains committed to accountability, the protection of children, and support for all efforts aimed at upholding international law and human dignity.
