The Russian military has “extensively violated” international human rights laws in Ukraine, according to a new report from international investigators.
Forty-five countries that are members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe voted in early June to invoke the Moscow Mechanism, which results in the sending of experts to assist participating states in the resolution of a particular question or problem. Those investigators published their findings Thursday, which is the second one the OSCE has conducted into Russia’s military since the war started.
Within the last week or so, more than 20 people were killed in a strike in Vinnytsia. At least 15 people died days earlier when Russian troops hit an apartment complex in the town of Chasiv Yar, while around the same time, three strikes hit a school, a residential building, and an area near a warehouse in Kharkiv.
The investigators also referenced two"new alarming phenomena," which include Russia's"filtration camps" and the country's decision to hand detained Ukrainians over to the separatist regions in Ukraine's east to avoid its"international obligations." "Eyewitnesses and survivors of 'filtration' operations, detentions, and forced deportations report frequent threats, harassment, and incidents of torture by Russian security forces," the secretary said.
