Ukraine’s parliament rejects joining Convention on children protection
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has not backed a law on
Ukraine’s joining the Convention on children protection and cooperation in
international adoption. 100 out of 442 deputies registered in the hall voted for
the draft bill.
Party of Regions faction, SPU and KPU did not vote with
their full complement, 44 Our Ukrainians and 56 deputies from BYuT seconded the
document.
A number of parliamentarians stand against joining the
Convention, because some of its regulations contradict Ukrainian legislation.
