КЕҢЕС ОДАҒЫНЫҢ БҰҰ –ДАҒЫ ӘСКЕРИ ТҰТҚЫНДАРДЫ РЕПАТРИАЦИЯЛАУ МӘСЕЛЕСІНЕ ҚАТЫСТЫ САЯСАТЫ

Abstract

The article studies the activities of Soviet diplomats in relation to the repatriation of prisoners of war. During World War II, the leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition agreed to establish an international organization that would be responsible for international security. In the post-war period, the UN raised the issue of repatriation of refugees and prisoners of war to their native countries. However, at that time, the legal aspects and mechanisms for the return of prisoners of war were not fully developed. During the discussion of the provisions of the refugee charter in the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly, the Soviet Union introduced an amendment to return all prisoners of war to their countries of origin. While Western countries proposed to separate political dissidents and those who do not want to repatriate in the recipient countries. At that time, the USSR had few supporters in the UN, so almost all of its initiatives on the issue of prisoners of war and refugees did not receive support. Therefore, the USSR voted against the Charter of the International Refugee Organization and refused to temporarily participate in the work of the Third Committee.
