“I have assured the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry that the Verkhovna Rada will contribute to the successful work of the mission! We discussed the work of the commission in Ukraine, which was established to record violations of human rights, international humanitarian law and other crimes related to Russian aggression. The main task is to identify suspects, gather evidence and prepare materials so that no one escapes punishment.”
According to her, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine attaches great importance to the work of the UN Independent International Commission. Parliament is ready to fully promote its activities.
Kondratyuk added that in addition to the crime of aggression, Russia is committing numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine, which testify to the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Its mission includes Eric Mose, Yasminka Dzumhur and Pablo de Greiff. Representatives of the Commission noted that they were instructed to conduct a separate investigation into violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions in late February and March 2022.
