Statement by Amb. Trishala Persaud, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Guyana, at Arria Formula Meeting convened by the UK & Co-sponsors, on “Violations of international humanitarian law against Ukrainian prisoners of war & civilian detainees"

Thank you, Chair, 

Over the past three years, we have rightly placed significant focus on the impacts of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on civilians, recognizing its devastating toll on the lives and livelihoods of millions of civilians and the magnitude of the displacement crises created. Today’s meeting allows us to spotlight one aspect of this conflict which deserves more attention - that is, the abuse and ill-treatment of prisoners of war and civilian detainees in violation of International Humanitarian Law.
