Through powerful testimonials the Arria-formula meeting will highlight the ill-treatment of Ukrainian Prisoners of War (POWs) and civilian detainees, including torture, summary executions and other forms of inhumane treatment. It will send a clear message to Russia that it must comply with International Humanitarian Law, including by ensuring full and unimpeded access of a human rights monitoring mechanism to Ukrainian POWs
The Permanent Missions of the United Kingdom to the United Nations, with the co-sponsorship of the Permanent Missions of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, US, and Ukraine to the United Nations, are convening the Arria-formula meeting of the UN Security Council to draw attention to the mounting evidence of Russia's gross violations of international humanitarian law that demands immediate action.
