Belarus implicated in trafficking of Ukrainian minors.

Belarus has been accused of participating in the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children from Russian-occupied territories, according to a preliminary report by exiled Belarusian opposition leaders. The report claims that 2,150 Ukrainian children, including orphans aged six to 15, were taken to so-called recreation camps and sanatoriums on Belarusian territory. The transfers of children to Belarus were illegal and in violation of the Geneva Conventions and the statute of the ICC, the report said. The actions of Belarus may also amount to the crime against humanity of 'deportation of forcible transfer of population' under the Rome Statute of the ICC, according to a children's rights law specialist.
