answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2023 answer text <p>We and partners worked to ensure Russia's presidency of the Security Council did not provide a platform for the further spread of disinformation around their unjust and illegal war on Ukraine. Throughout their presidency in April we continued to shine a spotlight on Russia's failure to meet the most basic obligations of a UN Member State and its contempt for the UN Charter. We challenged attempts to use their presidency to spread disinformation. This included blocking a UN webcast of a presidency meeting on the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia due to be addressed by Russia's Commissioner for Children's Rights who is subject to an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 25/05/2023 11:21:27 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
