UNITED NATIONS, April 3 (Reuters) - Russia's commissioner for children's rights, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges, is likely to brief an informal meeting of the U.N. Security Council this week, according to a note seen by Reuters on Monday.

Russia, which holds the monthly rotating presidency of the 15-member body for April, told council members in a note that it plans to hold an informal meeting on Wednesday on Ukraine, focused on "evacuating children from conflict zone."

Russia has taken over the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council. The panel, created to maintain world peace, met in New York on Monday under its new leadership: the country that has plunged Europe into its biggest conflict since World War II.

The Security Council’s programme for April features three open debates, including a signature event on risks stemming from violations of the agreements regulating the export of weapons and military equipment, its President for April told a Headquarters press conference today.

Vassily Nebenzia (Russian Federation) said the open debate to be held on 10 April will be an opportunity for a broad swathe of States to consider the negative consequences of non-compliance with agreements on export of weapons and military equipment. The meeting will also identify ways to improve mechanisms for controlling such exports. Noting that Izumi Nakamitsu, Under-Secretary-General of Disarmament Affairs, will brief during the meeting, he said there is no intention “to focus the discussion on a specific country or regional context”.

The open debate on 24 April — on effective multilateralism through the defence of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations — will be chaired by Sergey Lavrov, his country’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, and will focus on how to build a new multipolar world order based on sovereign equality, while maintaining the global balance of power and ensuring the conditions for humanity’s steady advance.

The UN Security Council did not accept Russia's resolution of a commission to investigate the sabotage of Nord Stream. Apparently only Russia,China and Brazil want to know who bombed those pipelines. Now why would that be?
