“The armed attack by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the ensuing hostilities have brought the most severe forms of human rights and international humanitarian law violations into the everyday lives of people in Ukraine, putting at risk countless lives, causing massive displacement and destruction of civilian infrastructure.”
4. Wide shot, Security Council
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ilze Brands Kehris, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights:
“We recall that, under international human rights law, any limitations to the right to manifest one’s religion or belief must be prescribed by law, necessary and proportionate. We call on both parties to respect and ensure that the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, peaceful assembly, association, and religion can be exercised without discrimination by all.”
6. Wide shot, Security Council
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Metropolitan of Volokolamsk Anthony, Chairman of the Department of External Church Relations, Patriarchate of Moscow:
“It is difficult to overestimate the peacemaking potential of religion and the Church in interstate and civil conflicts. Orthodox Christianity has been the common spiritual and cultural basis for the life of the peoples of Russia and Ukraine for many centuries and could serve to restore mutual understanding in the future. But the very basis of such a dialogue is being undermined in Ukraine right now, when, at the initiative of the leadership of Ukraine, attempts are being made to destroy the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.”
8. Wide shot, Security Council
9. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Russian Federation:
“As we said on January 13, that there is an acceleration in Ukraine to form a despot and authoritarian regime. The persecution of dissidents has happened in all regards, with a total prohibition of the opposition, prohibition of the freedom of expression, including freedom of religion.”
10. Med shot, Council members
11. SOUNDBITE (English) SOUNDBITE (English) Richard Mills, Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, United States:
“But really, can any informed person take seriously Russia’s purported commitment to religious freedom in Ukraine? Let me echo the comments of our friends the French and the Albanian counterparts. The subject of this meeting is another cynical attempt by the Russian federation to attempt by the Russian federation to invent justifications, justifications for a senseless, unholy war.”
12. Med shot, Council members
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Sergiy Kyslytsya, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ukraine:
“We already heard the insane statements about war mosquitoes, Ukrainian dirty bombs, chemical weapons, secret labs, etc., etc., and etc. Today, the Russian representative has gone even further. It is a real mockery of the Council when an accomplice of crimes against humanity is dressing up in the mantle f a preacher and explaining to the Security Council which denomination in Ukraine should be recognized as a canonical institution and which should be labeled a heretical one.”

STORYLINE:
The UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights told the Security Council that “the armed attack by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the ensuing hostilities have brought the most severe forms of human rights and international humanitarian law violations into the everyday lives of people in Ukraine, putting at risk countless lives, causing massive displacement and destruction of civilian infrastructure.”
Addressing the Council on Tuesday (17 Jan) in New York, Ilze Brands Kehris recalled that “under international human rights law, any limitations to the right to manifest one’s religion or belief must be prescribed by law, necessary and proportionate.”
The Assistant Secretary-General also called “on both parties to respect and ensure that the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, peaceful assembly, association, and religion can be exercised without discrimination by all.”
To date, OHCHR has recorded more than 7,000 civilians killed and more than 11,000 injured since 24 February 2022. The actual figures are considerably higher.
Kehris also informed that, this Saturday, a missile struck a residential building in a densely populated area of Dnipro. OHCHR has verified that the attack, one of the deadliest to date, killed at least 45 civilians, including six children, and injured at least 79.
The Chairman of the Department of External Church Relations of Patriarchate of Moscow, Metropolitan of Volokolamsk Anthony, said that “it is difficult to overestimate the peacemaking potential of religion and the Church in interstate and civil conflicts.”
Volokolamsk Anthony noted that “Orthodox Christianity has been the common spiritual and cultural basis for the life of the peoples of Russia and Ukraine for many centuries and could serve to restore mutual understanding in the future.”
“But the very basis of such a dialogue is being undermined in Ukraine right now, when, at the initiative of the leadership of Ukraine, attempts are being made to destroy the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” said the religious leader.

“It is a real mockery of the Council when an accomplice of crimes against humanity is dressing up in the mantle f a preacher and explaining to the Security Council which denomination in Ukraine should be recognized as a canonical institution and which should be labeled a heretical one,” concluded the ambassador of Ukraine.
