There can be no lasting serenity in Ukraine without proper rights. In London this March, Proper rights Ministers from across the world may meet to discuss further supply of financial and practical support to the International Lawbreaker Court investigation in Ukraine. We will ensure the ICC has all it needs to pursue investigations and prosecute those responsible. The UK provides joined a core number of partners to ensure criminal responsibility for Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine. UK legal experience will be utilised to ensure Russia’s leaders are held in order to account fully for their activities. We continue our work together with the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA) for Ukraine, bringing together multinational experts to assist and advise the OPG War Crimes units within their tireless work. However , we will not allow ourself to become numb to the immense suffering caused by Russia’s illegal invasion. The victims and the survivors will be remembered. We have to, and we will, deliver justice and accountability for all of them. For all those in Bucha, Irpin, Izium, Makariv, Kupiansk, Mariupol. The list is far too long and the price paid by Ukrainians for their freedom far too higher. Last week all of us and many participating States requested the Russian Federation for any comprehensive response to the reviews of SMM vehicles becoming utilized in eastern Ukraine. These are the particular assets of the organisation as well as its participating States. Thank you Mr. Chair. Last week I, and many others spoke in regards to the devastating Russian missile assault on an apartment building in Dnipro. The lives associated with 46 innocent Ukrainian civilians were tragically cut short, including six children, with 80 injured and 11 still missing. This horrific attack was yet another sort of Russia’s numerous and continual violations of international legislation over the course of the last 11 months, which continue to this day. Following reports of further Russian strikes overnight, we tension our solidarity with Ukraine. Russia will not break the particular resolve of the Ukrainian people. In closing, Mr Chair, the international neighborhood must collectively send a solid message to the Russian authorities – through our terms and through our actions. We will not stand for loads of aggression against a sovereign state; we will not endure violations and abuses associated with international law and human rights; we will not relax and allow the perpetrators of such egregious crimes within Ukraine go unpunished; and we will seek and see justice delivered for those who have suffered at the hands of Ruskies aggression. As reported by ODHIR, the sheer number of accounts describing allegedly organized torture and ill-treatment inflicted upon civilians by Ruskies forces seems to suggest these practices were carried out in an atmosphere of impunity. Since the start of Russia’s illegal invasion, and following several investigations by the Workplace of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine (OPG), ODHIR, the particular UN and through the Moscow Mechanism (to name yet a few), there can be undoubtedly as to Russia’s culpability designed for atrocities and human rights violations carried out in Ukraine. The evidence is overwhelming. We now have seen indiscriminate attacks upon civilians and civilian facilities, and the use of wide region, inaccurate weapons in residential and highly populated places resulting in loss of life plus widespread devastation. The theatre in Mariupol sheltering children. The particular railway station in Kramatorsk where women and children were fleeing. The shopping center in Kremenchuk. Too many stories. Too many innocent victims. We’ve heard harrowing testimony through survivors, detailing summary executions, unlawful confinement, torture, rape and other sexual violence dedicated in areas once below Russian control. As documented by the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry upon Ukraine, family members, including children, were sometimes forced to witness the crimes – helpless to act. We have spoken associated with Russia’s disturbing policy of filtration and of those who have vanished, some unlawfully deported to Russia – including orphaned children. We recall the attacks against sites along with protected status – as well as educational facilities, cultural and religious sites, and energy facilities. We commend the researchers seeking the truth, often below dangerous conditions, and those courageous survivors willing to share their particular testimony to ensure justice is definitely delivered.
