After the first leaks about the report made during the mission by independent experts of theosc To examine the developments of the ongoing war, it turns out that in Ukraine there are “clear patterns of violations of international humanitarian law by the Russian Armed Forces in the conduct of hostilities”. This is the report seen by Ansa. The organization stated that there was “credible evidence” that “the most basic human rights” had been violated. Osce therefore confirms what President Zelenskyy and his government have denounced since the beginning of the conflict, despite all accusations branded with the fake label from Moscow.
However, it should be specified that the subject of this particular investigation concerns the events of February 24th to April 1st. This means that the events near Kyiv and Bucha were not included in the report. In addition, the OSCE invited Russia to cooperate with the expert mission, but a refusal would have come from Moscow. The report notes that if the Russian armed forces “had complied with their obligations” enshrined in “international humanitarian law” regarding the distinction, proportionality and precautionary measures during attacks “and with regard to particularly protected locations such as hospitals, the number of civilians killed or injured would have been significantly lower”.
Apparently, the OECD analysis took place generally and took into account the actions of both parties to the conflict, so that the experts identified “some violations and problems related to practices attributable to Ukraine”, with particular reference to the “treatment of prisoners of warIt also stressed that “it has not been possible to confirm claims” by Moscow that “Ukraine, and not Russian forces, caused some of the deaths, injuries or destruction attributed to Russia by the media, Ukrainian authorities and NGOs.” “. “and” The violations committed by the Russian Federation are much broader in nature and scope.
Based on what emerged from the research conducted within the specified timeframe, the OSCE was unable to conclude whether “the Russian attack on Ukraine per se as a widespread attack or systematically against a civilian population, “but “believes that some patterns of “violent human rights” acts of violence that have been repeatedly documented, such as targeted killings, enforced disappearances, or kidnappings of civilians, including journalists and local officials, may qualify” ,
However, the report concludes: “Every single one act of violence of this kind, committed in connection with such an attack and with knowledge thereof, would then constitute a crime against humanity. his activities on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic until April 30 Minister of the Separatist Republic, Natalia Nikonorova, on his own Telegram channel, calls for the Minsk agreements to be changed. The climate of tension is mounting, as illustrated by the arrest of an OSCE official by the authorities of the selfproclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic on charges of “illegal acts”.
