Launched on Monday, the 10-day Warsaw Human Dimension Conference dedicated to human rights and fundamental freedoms across Europe is being held in the Polish capital.

The event brings together more than 1,500 participants from the region of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), representing governments, international organizations, civil society, media, academia, and more.

Opening the event, Poland’s Foreign Minister condemned Russia for its ongoing kidnapping of Ukrainian children.

“Moscow is trying to rob Ukraine of its most precious resource - the next generation. Forcible transfer and deportation of children is tantamount to genocide,” Sikorski said.

“All perpetrators must be held accountable and brought to justice for their crimes,” he added.
