THE CHILDREN IN ADVERSITY NATIONAL ACTION PLAN LAUNCH

REMARKS BY USAID ADMINISTRATOR RAJIV SHAH AT THE CHILDREN IN ADVERSITY NATIONAL ACTION PLAN LAUNCH

Remarks as Prepared

Good afternoon. Thank you, Cokie, for your kind introduction and serving as our moderator this afternoon.

Before we begin, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the terrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and remember the young lives lost. Over the past few days, I have felt—as I imagine many did—the particular anguish of a parent who sends his children off to school every day. And I have felt an even deeper desire to protect them from all that is violent and hurtful in our world.

The adoption of the law in the United States on "Magnitsky list" and the response to it Russia

MOSCOW, Dec. 18 - rape. Adoption of legislative rules to ban adoptions of Russian children by U.S. citizens will create controversy and difficult legal conflict, because such a rule directly contrary to a number of international and national laws, according to lawyers interviewed Tuesday rape.

The U.S. Senate on December 6 adopted the "Magnitsky Act" on visa sanctions against the Russians involved in the opinion of Congress, human rights violations. In response, the State Duma has prepared the "law of Dima Yakovlev", the first reading was adopted on 14 December. second reading scheduled for Wednesday , the third - on a Friday, and the entry into force of the law - in 2013.

The bill applies to U.S. citizens who have violated the rights of Russians, or were involved in the crimes against them. Second reading of the parliamentarians are going to amend the denunciations of the Russian-American agreement and the ban on adoptions by Americans.

Was contrary to the Constitution and the Code of the RF

Chairman of the Inter-regional human rights association "Agora" Pins Paul noted that the proposed rule prohibiting the adoption of Russian children by U.S. citizens, infringing the rights of the child on the basis of nationality, directly contrary to the Constitution, the Family Code of the Russian Federation, the International Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 and the Agreement between Russia and the United States on cooperation in the adoption of children, ratified this year.

A ban on the adoption of Russian orphans by U.S. citizens can become one of the positive consequences of the notorious Magnitsky Act. In this case, Russia will finally cease to give away, or rather sell orphaned children to foreigners. For the time being, Russia remains one of the three donors that supply their children to the international adoption market.

State Duma deputies promised that the second reading of the bill, which will serve as a response to the Magnitsky Act, signed by U.S. authorities, will have a number of significant additions. In particular, U.S. citizens will no longer be allowed to adopt Russian children.

One of the reasons for this move is the fact that the agreement signed last year in June between the U.S. and Russia on cooperation in the field of adoption is practically not working. It was assumed that the Russian side would control the lives of its young citizens in foster American families. It does not happen still. Russia's Consular services learn about new tragedy that occurs to an adopted child, when the case already comes to court. Moreover, most sentences brought down against foster parents for abusing orphans are extremely soft and are often limited to suspended punishment.
