| Domestic aspect (on the precedent of Ukraine)
In this connection I would mention some legal acts of Ukraine related to the issue. On the Constitutional level Ukrainian State recognizes the very existence of Indigenous Peoples in Ukraine and even takes a responsibility for their being: “Article 11 The State promotes the consolidation and development of the Ukrainian nation, of its historical consciousness, traditions and culture, and also the development of the ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity of all indigenous peoples and national minorities of Ukraine”. At the connection with other constitutional provisions it is seen that Indigenous Children and Youth’s needs must be included into the action of this article: Article 22 Human and citizens' rights and freedoms affirmed by this Constitution are not exhaustive. Constitutional rights and freedoms are guaranteed and shall not be abolished. The content and scope of existing rights and freedoms shall not be diminished in the adoption of new laws or in the amendment of laws that are in force.
