UN Human Rights Organization experts – What are war crimes in Ukraine? Know the full story

Geneva: A team of experts appointed by the UN’s top human rights organization to investigate human rights violations in Ukraine said on Friday that its preliminary investigation has found evidence of war crimes in the country. Experts from the Commission of Inquiry appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council have so far focused their investigation on four regions – Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy.

Nearly seven months after Russia launched its assault on Ukraine, experts in their study cited interviews with former detainees who were beaten, electrocuted and forcibly taken away in Russian detention centers. ,

Commission chairman Eric Moose said, “The areas we visited saw a large number of deaths. The commission is currently investigating cases of such killings in 16 cities and towns.”

Moose said his team had received information about several other cases of genuine charges of murder and were being filed. He said investigators visited 27 towns and settlements and cemeteries and torture centers, interviewed more than 150 victims and witnesses, and met with social groups and government officials.

“Based on the evidence collected by the commission, it has been concluded that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine,” Moos said. However, he did not specify which side of the war allegedly committed the crimes. Moose said the team also studied two incidents of abuse of Russian soldiers by Ukrainian forces. He said there have also been reports of sex crimes against children aged 4 to 82 by Russian soldiers and the number of these soldiers is unclear.
