OSCE mission found in Ukraine a certificate of war crimes, including Mariupol, and laid a lot of guilt to Russia. A preliminary report of the mission collected by the decision of 45 out of 57 OSCE countries contrary to the objections of Russia is published on Wednesday. It is reported by the Russian BBC service.
The report states that the mission is not able to evaluate whether the invasion itself is a large-scale operation against the civilian population, but it notes repeatedly documented violations of international norms. “Intentional killings, abductions of civilians, including journalists and local officials, most likely correspond to this criterion. Any such violent action committed under this invasion is a crime against humanity,” the report says.
“The report marked violations both from the Ukrainian and the Russian side. However, violations committed by the Russian Federation are incommensurable more serious in nature and scale,” the document says.
OSCE, among other things, studied the facts of two loud crimes – the Bombing of the Theater and the Roddoma in Mariupol: “The mission came to the conclusion that the maternity hospital was destroyed as a result of the attack by Russian forces. From Russian explanations it follows that the attack was deliberate. No warnings, No time on evacuation was given. “
Consequently, this attack is a clear violation of international humanitarian law. Persons responsible for him committed a war crime, “the report says.
The same applies to the destruction of the theater under which hundreds of Mariupols hid in the bomb shelter, and with huge letters on Earth with both ends of the building were laid out inscriptions “Children.” “Russia argues that he was blown up by the Ukrainian battalion” Azov “. The mission did not find any instructions on it,” the report says. “This incident is likely to be a blatant violation of international humanitarian law, and those who gave and fulfilled the order to blow up. Theater, committed a war crime. “
