Speaking in Kyiv, Commission Chair Erik M\u00f8se pointed to continuing patterns of violations by Russian armed forces, including wilful killings, unlawful confinement, torture, rape, and illegal deportations, many of which qualify as war crimes.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Commission, the Ukrainian legal system faced \u201cimmense challenges\u201d to provide accountability and justice to the victims and ensure comprehensive redress for the survivors. Mandated by the UN Human Rights Council to investigate violations committed since the start of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion, the Commission said that it has \u201cfollowed closely\u201d discussions about reparations.<\/p>\n<p>Commission member Pablo de Greiff said reparations initiatives should be designed in close consultation with victims. \u201cThe establishment of a comprehensive reparations programmes is a long-term process, which should be distinguished from, but also coordinated with, national reconstruction programmes, and property restitution and repair programmes,\u201d he said. Such initiatives should also be designed in close consultation with the victims, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The rights experts also stressed that the delivery of urgent mental health and psychosocial support to victims remained a challenge. The Commission has visited Ukraine more than 10 times. The current visit began in the Cherkasy region and continued to Kyiv, where the experts met with authorities and civilians affected by the war.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission released a paper in late August, concluding that, among other things, \u201ctorture used by Russian authorities has been widespread and systematic and may amount to crimes against humanity, if confirmed by further investigations\u201d. It also found \u201ca pattern of summary executions in towns and villages that were close to the frontlines, where Russian armed forces came into frequent contact with local residents\u201d. In its report in March, the Commission showed that Russian authorities had \u201ccommitted a wide range of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law&#8221; in many regions of Ukraine and in Russia. Concluding that \u201cRussian armed forces have carried out attacks with explosive weapons in populated areas with an apparent disregard for civilian harm and suffering\u201d, the Commission documented indiscriminate and disproportionate strikes, and a failure to take precautions, in violation of international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p>The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine is an independent body mandated by the UN Human Rights Council to, among other things, investigate all alleged violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law, and related crimes in the context of Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine. Its aim is to establish the facts, circumstances, and root causes of any such violations and abuses; and to collect, consolidate, and analyse evidence of such violations and abuses, including their gender dimension, in view of any future legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Denise Brown, Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine for the UN humanitarian agency, OCHA, raised an alarm on Monday about how multiple attacks on ports. \u201cI am appalled by the far-reaching humanitarian consequences of the repeated Russian attacks on Ukraine\u2019s Danube ports and agricultural assets, affecting global food security,\u201d she said in a social media post. \u201cFrom struggling Ukrainian farmers to families worldwide grappling with rising food costs, the impact is devastating already.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/09\/1140352\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/immense-challenges-block-justice-for-ukrainian-war-victims-rights-experts-warn\/\">\u2018Immense challenges\u2019 block justice for Ukrainian war victims, rights experts warn<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6555,2663,555,11344,2907,843,11345,589],"class_list":["post-116642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-block","tag-challenge","tag-csr-news-en","tag-immence","tag-justice","tag-ukrainian","tag-vicitims","tag-war"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116642\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
