RUSSIAN WAR CRIMES

IRINA MIROCHNIK

IRINA MIROCHNIK

The use of weapons of mass destruction against civilians is a crime against humanity and a violation of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949.

By killing civilians, the aggressor’s forces continue to commit crimes against humanity as defined by the Statute of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, cynically disregarding all the requirements of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. According to these norms, deliberate attacks on civilians who are not directly involved in hostilities are equated to war crimes.

The taking of civilian hostages is a direct violation of Articles 3 and 34 of the Geneva Convention with regard to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

As of June 23, 2022, since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 324 children have died and more than 593 children have been injured. Due to the active hostilities in affected regions, there is no possibility to inspect the areas of shelling and destruction. The actual data on dead and injured children in these regions are currently being established.

“The use of weapons of mass destruction against civilians is a crime against humanity and a violation of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949.”

According to these norms, deliberate attacks on civilians who are not directly involved in hostilities are equated to war crimes.”
