The findings of the just-issued UN report on despicable Russian war crimes: rape of girls and women age 4-82; summary executions, including of boys; brutal torture to death; inhuman and degrading confinement; savage beatings for speaking Ukrainian. ohchr.org/sites/default/…
These violations of humanitarian (the four Geneva Conventions and two Additional Protocols) and human rights law also constitute war crimes (Rome Statute, Art. 8) and crimes against humanity (Rome Statute, Art. 7). This is a devastating indictment of the terrorist Russian state.
Summary: Russia has committed a clear pattern of widespread war crimes: wilful killings, torture, rape, confinement, forced deportation, indiscriminate attacks on civilians, destruction of civilian infrastructure, which are also crimes against humanity, forced deportations.
This goes without saying but in a legal context this is a required finding: Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression. This determination can be used if a special tribunal is set up with jurisdiction over the crime of illegal aggression.
@Rail_splitter1 L'armée russe ne vise que les cibles militaires et énergétique. Jamais les civils. Si des civils meurent, c'est par accident. Vous êtes bien placé pour savoir que l'armée ukrainienne bombarde surtout les civils & détruit leurs habitats jusqu'au sol.
