A United Nations delegation will visit Ukraine from June 7-16 to collect evidence of war crimes executed by Russian forces since the onset of the brutal war on February 24. This will be the first time when the team of the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry will travel to the war-ravaged country.
“The Commissioners intend to visit several locations in Ukraine, including Lviv, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Sumy, to get first-hand information on alleged human rights violations and abuses, and international humanitarian law violations. The team will also meet victims, witnesses and internally displaced persons in order to make the report more concrete.”
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine is an independent body mandated by the UN Human Rights Council. They will investigate all alleged violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law, and related crimes in the context of the aggression against Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
“The three Commissioners taking part in the mission, Erik Mose (Chairperson), Jasminka Dzumhur and Pablo de Greiff, are expected to meet government officials, including key ministers, and members of civil society and United Nations agencies, to discuss the situation in the country.”
