“Existing international rules and norms speak of the possibility and necessity of forming an international tribunal for crimes committed in eastern Ukraine. All the crimes that occur there fall under the scope of international conventions: on genocide, on apartheid, on crimes against humanity and against the safety of civilians,” Samodurov said.
He referred to the report of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, which recorded hundreds of episodes of torture, extrajudicial killings, cruel treatment, and crimes against humanity, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It is clear that not all cases on both sides are recorded. The Office of the High Commissioner notes that people are afraid to file complaints. But those documents that are in the public domain indicate that there is a negative dynamic. The number of crimes against civilians, the number of episodes related to the use of torture and extrajudicial killings is growing. All documents express concern about the systematic use of torture to extract confessions from the SBU. Lack of investigations, which creates a feeling of impunity,” Samodurov said.
