Council of Europe stands with Ukraine, says Secretary General on Independence Day


The Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Alain Berset, has expressed solidarity with the people of Ukraine on their Independence Day on 24 August. A crucial element of the Council of Europe's response is the Register of Damage for Ukraine as an international mechanism to systematically record evidence and claims of damage, loss, and injury caused by the aggression against Ukraine. The appointment of a Special Envoy of the Secretary General on the situation of the children of Ukraine underlines the Council of Europe's determination to safeguard their rights and well-being, in the face of displacement, separation, and exposure to conflict.
