The committee has supported the draft resolution No.2117 on immediate measures to be taken towards ensuring the rights and interests of children, which have suffered from acts of war and armed conflicts.
The bill provides for:

· submitting for consideration by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine a draft bill on rendering additional social guarantees for various categories of children to have been recognized as ‘victims of acts of war and armed conflicts’.

The parliament was recommended to take the bill on the first reading and in tote with some corrections made by the committeemen.
