The human rights organization released a report in which it claims that the Ukrainian military endangers the civilian population by deploying on the territory of schools and hospitals.
Polish office of an international human rights organization Amnesty International published a statement condemning the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. European Truth wrote this on Friday, August 5.
The Statement on Conditions for Documenting Violations of International Humanitarian Law states that Amnesty International “Continuously condemns Russia’s aggression in independent Ukraine and repeatedly calls for Russian forces to be held accountable for war crimes committed and gross violations of international humanitarian law.”
“From the first days of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, Russian troops have been conducting inhumane attacks not only on individual civilian objects, but also on cities of many millions, small towns and villages, which are mostly inhabited by civilians. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of democratic countries around the world, including Poland, are defending against a cruel and unjust attack, fighting under unequal conditions imposed by the aggressor,” the statement said.
Amnesty International Polska note that the key to any armed conflict is the protection of civilians.
They also noted that the basis of the organization’s activities should be independence, impartiality and supporting conclusions with evidence.
“We know that in a defensive war – direct armed confrontation with attacking forces – there are situations where the proximity of combat can complicate the security of the civilian population,” the statement said.
The following are cases of violations of civilian security: in particular, targeted or chaotic attacks on civilians and executions of civilians by the Russian army, Russian war crimes in the Kyiv and Mariupol regions, humanitarian disasters caused by “regular shelling, as well as sieges. of cities by the Russians.”
“We monitor violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, wherever they are violated, regardless of who suffered them and who applied them. This also applies to the war in Ukraine,” the statement said.
Earlier it was reported that the director of the Ukrainian office Amnesty International Oksana Pokalchuk left the human rights organization.
