Human rights are typically
thought of as applying to individuals, even to groups, but do national-ethnic
human rights exist? Do nations having a distinct ethnic culture have the right

claim against Russia for having violated the rights of the Ukrainian state as
protector of the Ukrainian ethnicity in the populous. In particular, as part of
its multi-year invasion of Ukraine, the Russian government violated the human
rights of Ukraine itself and Ukrainian children not only by kidnapping the kids
to Russia, but also in indoctrinating them with the intent of ridding them of
their distinctly Ukrainian cultural identity.
