UN: mounting evidence of Russian War Crimes

CNBC reported on July 5th, United Nation High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said that her office has mounting evidence of Russian forces carrying out unlawful killings and summary executions, which seriously violated international humanitarian law.

Bachelet said, UN investigators have verified the recovery of more than 1,200 civilian bodies from Kyiv. And her office is working to corroborate more than 300 allegations of killings by Russian armed forces in the situations not directly associated with active fighting.

“The arbitrary detention of civilians has also become widespread in territory controlled by Russian armed forces and affiliated armed groups. Despite restrictions on access, we have documented 270 cases of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance,” added by Bachelet.

Last week, Russian missiles hit busy shopping centre in Kyiv, while more than 1,000 civilians are inside the building, many people killed and injured. G7 summit quickly released a statement, “Indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians constitute a war crime. Russian President Putin and those responsible will be held to account.”
