In line with established practice, the webcasting of Arria-formula meetings via UNTV requires the consent of all Council members it can therefore be blocked if a single Council member objects. The meeting, which will begin at 10 am EST and take place in Conference Room 4, will not be broadcast on UNTV, after Russia raised an objection to webcasting it on the official UN channel. Briefings are expected from Ezequiel Heffes, Director of Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict Dmytro Lubinets, the Ombudsperson of Ukraine Daria Herasymchuk, Adviser-Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for the Rights of the Child and Child Rehabilitation and a civil society representative. The meeting is being co-hosted by Albania, France, and the US, together with non-Council member Ukraine, and is being co-sponsored by over 42 member states. This morning (28 April), Security Council members will hold an Arria-formula meeting titled “Addressing the Abduction and Deportation of Children During Armed Conflict: Concrete Steps for Accountability and Prevention”.
