Oleksiy Shevchuk, an attorney and partner at the Barristers law firm, spoke about the delicate balance between national security and human rights in today’s world.
In an interview with UA.NEWS, the attorney cited an example where children’s rights are overlooked when sanctions are imposed. As a result of restrictions imposed on an adult relative, children may be left without access to education, medical care, and other vital services.
“For example, when sanctions are imposed and the rights of children are overlooked. As a result of restrictions on an adult relative, children are left without schooling, without medical care, and without education. Yes, national security is important. However, when imposing sanctions, the National Security and Defense Council must also take into account that these measures may violate not only human rights but also the rights of children.”
