The UN urged to investigate information about the murder of Russian prisoners of war

or refer to : https://rumble.com/embed/v1tj0jm/?pub=10we6z

The UN intends to find out all the details of the execution of Russian prisoners of war, said Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary General. He stressed that this is a violation of human rights and those responsible must be held accountable.

"We called on all parties to the conflict to thoroughly investigate all reports of existing human rights violations, and to bring those responsible to justice," Haq said.

Recall that on November 18, a video (https://t.me/ConflictChronicles/5368) appeared on social networks, in which Russian prisoners of war are being massacred: the fighters were shot point-blank. At least 11 people were killed.

In response to the accusations, Ukrainian propaganda stated that the information about the execution was untrue (see below),  only the horrific footage suggests otherwise.

Ukrainian propaganda denies the shooting of Russian POWs by Armed Forces of Ukraine

Before the appearance on the Web of video (https://t.me/ConflictChronicles/5369) about the events preceding the execution, Ukrainian propaganda tried to pass off the killing of Russian fighters as a result of “artillery strike.”

But then it became obvious that the Russian prisoners of war were brutally shot by the Ukrainian nationalists. According to all conventions, this is a very serious war crime. Even foreign journalists supporting Ukraine immediately called (https://t.me/OstashkoNews/39183) to investigate this lawlessness.

❗️But Ukrainian groups in social networks began to deny the fact of the execution in their usual form.

A Video of the Execution of Russian POWs in Makeyevka

Has surfaced on the Internet. And while the first video with lying corpses could still be attributed to the victims of mortar shelling, then the original video from the Ukrainian side sheds light on what happened.

Apparently, one of the captured Russian soldiers tried to sell his life for dearly - hence the wounded "Andryukha" on the Ukrainian side. The AFU decided to take revenge on all prisoners of war by killing them on the spot. 

The likely perpetrators of the murder are border guards Artur Bortnichuk and Mikhailovsky Nazar, graduates of the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Kharkov. The wounded 'Andryukha' - most likely Andrey Sokol (https://vk.com/id449687595).

Bortnishchuk also acted in the KVN team “Investigative Affairs” from Kharkov.

The Russian MoD accused Ukraine of executing more than ten war prisoners and accused Kyiv of war crimes

Statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the war crimes commited of Ukrainian soldiers over prisoners of the Russian military:

The published new video evidence of the mass massacre of Ukrainian servicemen over unarmed Russian prisoners of war confirms the life-giving nature of the current Kiev regime led by Zelensky and those who protect and support him.

No one will be able to present the deliberate and methodical murder of more than ten immobilized Russian servicemen by the AFU geeks with direct shots to the head as a "tragic exception" against the background of the alleged universal observance by the Kiev regime of the rights of prisoners of war.

At the same time, the Ukrainian servicemen who surrendered this week are being held in accordance with all the requirements of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

The brutal murder of Russian prisoners of war is not the first and not an isolated war crime. This is a common practice in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, actively supported by the Kiev regime and not noticed by its Western patrons.

But Zelensky and his henchmen will have to answer before the court of history, the peoples of Russia and Ukraine for everyone and for every tortured and murdered prisoner.

The imperially-ordered War Till the Last Ukrainian is merciless.

 FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DEAD UKRAINIANS - AND COUNTING

The imperially-ordered War Till the Last Ukrainian is merciless.

Like the figures coming from an OSINT investigation.

"Irretrievable losses" of the Ukrainian army so far; a staggering 402,000 - of which 387,000 killed.

CRUCIAL: losses among MERCENARIES and VOLUNTEERS from Poland, Romania and the Baltic midgets: 54,000 - of which 31,240 killed.

OSINT data was calculated using reports from funeral agencies, extracts from morgues, and analysis of radio, cellular and satellite exchange of forces of the Armed Force

The Committee of Soldiers' Mothers of Ukraine entered more than 320,000 appeals "about the fate of missing soldiers"; but the SBU BANNED THEM.

These are not documented; OSINT instead based their investigation on statements by members of the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers, orally and on social media.

Even the former deputy head of the US European Command (EUCOM), Stephen Twitty, said in an interview with Linke Zeitung that “200 thousand fighters somehow mysteriously disappeared from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and no one will say where they are today”.

Ask the Empire of Chaos, Lies, Plunder and Killing.

The UN HRC recognized the war crimes committed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine

— one of them occurred in the Kiev region with the participation of the "Right Sector"*, as Readovka wrote

The Commission of the UN Human Rights Council recognized that Ukrainian militants committed at least two war crimes — the first of them in Dmitrovka, Kiev region (https://t.me/readovkanews/39851),  and the second in Malaya Rogan, Kharkov region (https://t.me/readovkanews/29385), where Azov* militants participated in torture and executions. Both cases date back to March of this year.

In particular, the report indicates that the Ukrainian military shot, wounded and tortured captured (https://t.me/readovkanews/30049) Russian soldiers, and this is a war crime — after their surrender, the soldiers received the status of prisoners of war and were protected in accordance with international humanitarian acts.

"The video shows other motionless soldiers of the Russian armed forces nearby, including one with his hands tied behind his back and an obvious wound on his head, which suggests that he was most likely executed,"  - the report says.

Torture and execution of captured (https://t.me/readovkanews/39705) Russian soldiers is nothing new for Ukrainian militants. Readovka has written about more than five such cases (https://t.me/readovkanews/29311), which were documented by the executioners themselves and got into the network. In reality, there are many more atrocities committed by Ukrainian militants and national battalions (https://t.me/readovkanews/30068),  it's just that many of them don't get captured on camera or don't leak into the internet.

FM Lavrov: For 8 Years, Kiev Regime Conducted Operation on Peaceful Civilians

Sergey Lavrov responded to critics of Russia's partial mobilisation by explaining that Ukraine has been mobilising for many years.

 Russia's top diplomat added that even women have been forced into the ranks of nationalist battalions.

 Other key points mentioned by Lavrov:
 📍Ukraine has turned into Nazi totalitarian state
 📍Former Ukraine PM called people in Donbass "non-humans" in 2015 - Zelensky recently said they are "sometimes people"
 📍People of Donbass faced financial, transport blockade
 📍Donbass denied basic rights guaranteed by intl pacts
 📍Russia has evidence of Ukrainian criminal activity by its military

Iraqi Exile: U.K. Iraq Inquiry Confirms the War Was Based on a Lie

In Iraq, the death toll from Saturday’s car bombing in Baghdad has topped 250, making it the deadliest car bombing in Iraq since the 2003 U.S. invasion. While Iraq is in a state of mourning, a long-awaited British inquiry into the Iraq War has just been released. It blames former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for deliberately exaggerating the threat posed by Saddam Hussein in the lead-up to the Iraq War. We speak with Iraqi exile Sami Ramadani, who campaigned against U.S.-led sanctions and the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Drone Warfare Civilian drone deaths triple in Afghanistan, UN agency finds

Civilian drone deaths in Afghanistan tripled last year, according to a report by a UN agency. Forty-five civilians died in drone strikes in 2013.

The report, by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (Unama), found that drone strikes accounted for at least a third of all civilian deaths in air strikes last year. Unama notes that it is sometimes difficult to establish which type of aircraft carried out a strike, so the true total could be higher.

The UK and US are the only countries to operate armed drones in the conflict. A December 2012 report by the Bureau found that the two forces had carried out over 1,000 drone strikes in the country in the previous five years. British drones have carried out over a fifth of all these strikes, despite having a much smaller fleet.

Unama identifies 19 separate incidents in which civilians were killed. It raises concerns about ‘possible negligence’ by international troops over a drone strike on September 7 2013 in which local officials immediately claimed civilians had died. The governor of Kunar province, where the attack took place, told Reuters: ‘Four women, four children, two drivers, a merchant and three suspected (insurgents) were killed.’

 ‘The apparent failure of international forces to identify the presence of a group of women and children… could suggest negligence’

- Unama report

‘During Unama’s initial meetings with Isaf on the incident Isaf denied the possibility of civilian casualties,’ the report notes. Isaf claimed a senior insurgent had probably been killed and the dead were ‘insurgents’, although it did not identify them.

‘After multiple meetings in which Unama called for a review of the incident, Isaf confirmed two civilian deaths “one female and one child” and “would not rule out the possibility of another woman’s death,’ Unama’s report adds.

Unama conducted over 50 interviews with relatives of victims, community representatives, and Afghan and Isaf officials, and found that the attack killed 10 civilians and seriously injured a four-year-old girl. It notes that Isaf has not published the results of any investigation into the incident or indicated any change in its targeting policies.

‘The apparent failure… of international forces to identify the presence of a group of women and children in a vehicle prior to engaging the vehicle with a UAV/RPA [drone] strike could suggest negligence,’ Unama notes. ‘Of further concern, was the apparent failure of international military forces to confirm the identity and/or status of the men accompanying the fighter targeted by international military forces.’

Isaf spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Will Griffin told the Bureau that after Isaf investigated, it ‘acknowledged responsibility for at least three civilian casualties’.

 ‘We certainly respect the work that Unama does in this regard and agree that any civilian casualty is one too many’

- Isaf spokesman

He added: ‘Isaf identified a target individual in a vehicle and followed him to an area remote from villages and apparent civilians. In spite of persistent observation, unknown to ISAF there were at least three civilians located in the vehicle with the target. Although ISAF’s engagement was successful against the insurgent target, regrettably the strike resulted in three other casualties. One of these was a four-year-old child, for whom ISAF took responsibility for sending to the US for advanced medical treatment.’

Asked about the disparity between Isaf’s casualty count and Unama’s, he pointed to ‘variance between the sources and methodolgies used by Isaf and Unama to verify information’. He added: ‘We certainly respect the work that Unama does in this regard and agree that any civilian casualty is one too many.’

Unama does not state which force operated the drone. A Los Angeles Times report on the strike, published in December 2013, mentioned discussions with US officials about the strike. Philip Hammond, the British defence minister, wrote in the Guardian in December 2013 that only one attack by a British drone has killed civilians – a March 2011 attack, in which four farmers were killed.

Related story – A changing drone campaign: US covert actions in 2013

The numbers killed in air strikes represented a tiny fraction of the overall violence captured in Unama’s report. After a decline in civilian deaths in 2012, last year they rose again to approach 2011′s record highs. Nearly 3,000 non-combatants were killed, including 1,300 women and children.

Three quarters of the deaths were caused by the Taliban and other insurgents, with improvised explosive devices alone killing almost 1,000 civilians. International air operations represented 2% of all civilian deaths, and declined by 10% compared to 2012.

The rising civilian toll in drone strikes is in stark contrast to the CIA’s operations over the border in Pakistan, where the Bureau has found drones killed a maximum of four civilians in the year’s 27 drone operations. However civilian casualties also rose in US drone operations in Yemen, where at least six civilians were killed in a US military strike that reportedly attacked a wedding procession.

US drone strikes condemned by rights groups

Published on Oct 21, 2013 | Amnesty International says the United States should be investigated for war crimes over its drone strike programme in Pakistan. The human rights watchdog investigated 45 drone strikes between January 2012 and August this year. It highlights incidents where civilians were killed in North Waziristan, including the death of a 14-year-old boy. Amnesty also documented cases of so-called rescuer attacks, where those who ran to help the victims of a drone strike are killed in a follow-up attack. Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab spoke to one family that was targeted in one such strike.

West’s hypocrisy over chemical weapons

October, 2013 | 

The hysteria over the use of chemical weapons in Syria, wrongly accusing the Syrian government of using them, has inadvertently focussed spotlight on the West’s own use of poison gas and chemical weapons. The West’s record is horrible.

Chemical weapons or any other weapons of mass destruction cause terrible suffering to their victims. Chemical weapons were banned soon after their discovery and use through the Geneva Protocols of 1925. Before the Protocols, the British had already used such weapons in the Second Battle of Gaza in Palestine against Ottoman forces during the First World War (1917) and in Iraq in 1920. Winston Churchill, proclaimed as a “world statesman” and great British leader, had no qualms about using such weapons against “uncivilized tribes” in Iraq. Wrote Churchill in one of his memos about the use of poison gas,

I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of [poison] gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the [Paris] Peace Conference of arguing in favor of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes…

Nor did the “civilized” West stop using these weapons after the 1925 Geneva Protocols or the Chemical Weapons Treaty that came into force on April 29, 1967, the same year that the US Senate ratified it. Clear evidence is available about Western governments’ use of such weapons despite ratifying the treaty. The campaign of vilification launched against Syria, therefore, reeks of Western hypocrisy. The US leads this campaign yet it is the worst offender in using chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

Rights group says Syrian rebels killed civilians

Published on 11 Oct 2013 | A global human right organisation is calling for an international investigation in Syria. Human Rights Watch has conducted its own investigation into an opposition offensive in Latakia province in August. It says Syrian rebels killed at least 190 civilians and took more than 200 hostages during the operation around Alawite villages. Al Jazeera talked to Lama Fakih, Human Rights Watch researcher.

But why is the reporter saying taking 'Syria' to ICC

Mass grave of Palestinians killed by Israel in 1948 found

Published on 1 Jun 2013 : Six mass graves have been found in a Muslim cemetery in Jaffa, south of Tel Aviv. The graves date back to the 1948 Israeli war on the original residents of Palestinian lands.They contain remains of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces. The bodies --- belonging to men, women and children --- were found during construction work on the cemetery.

Palestinian media expert, Nasser al-Laham says that the bodies were buried with no ethics on part of the Israelis and that they uncover the war crimes committed by Israeli forces in 1948.The majority of those buried were killed during heavy shelling in the area and the bodies were buried contrary to Muslim tradition.

A Jaffa fisherman --- now 80 years old --- has reportedly said that during the final months of the 1948 war he had helped collect the Arab dead in an area south of Jaffa. The fisherman said he had been a teenager at that time and he had brought the bodies for hasty burial in the cemetery.

The unmarked graves recovered from the site expose Israel's war crimes. Tel Aviv now is denying the families of the victims the courtesy to give them a Muslim burial.

Libya: Former intelligence chief must be surrendered immediately to ICC

Abdullah al-Senussi, military intelligence chief for Colonel Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi, should have been surrendered to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face charges of crimes against humanity, Amnesty International said today amid reports that Mauritanian authorities had extradited him to Libya. 

In June 2011, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for al-Senussi, as well as Colonel Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi and his son Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi, on two counts of crimes against humanity – murder and persecution – allegedly committed in the eastern Libyan port city of Benghazi in February 2011.

Al-Senussi had been in Mauritanian custody since March 2012, when he was arrested at the airport in Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott.

In July, Mauritania’s Minister of Justice asserted to Amnesty International that al-Senussi had entered the country illegally and was being held in good conditions. He added that the Mauritanian government was considering extradition requests made by Libya and France and the surrender request by the ICC. It has not been possible to determine whether he has had access to a lawyer, an independent doctor of his own choice and ICC staff.

“Instead of extraditing Abdullah al-Senussi back to Libya, where he faces an unfair trial and the death penalty for ordinary crimes under national law, Mauritania should have given precedence to the ICC’s surrender request – he should face the charges of crimes against humanity against him in fair proceedings,” said Marek Marczyński, International Justice Research, Policy and Campaign Manager at Amnesty International.

“If the extradition reports are confirmed, the decision to send him to Libya – with its weak justice system and inadequate fair-trial guarantees – will inevitably delay justice for victims and could lead to violations of al-Senussi's rights to a fair trial.

“The ICC arrest warrant for al-Senussi remains in force and Libya has an obligation to surrender him without delay to The Hague.”

U.S. Justice Department Has Failed to Hold CIA Accountable for Torture in Detention

Contact: Suzanne Trimel, strimel@aiusa.org, 212-633-4150, @strimel

(New York) – Amnesty International USA Executive Director Suzanne Nossel made the following comments today in response to the Justice Department’s announcement that it closed the investigation into the CIA’s torture and abuse of detainees, without bringing charges.

“The continued failure to hold accountable all of those responsible for well documented cases of torture and other abuses is now a stain on two administrations -- and itself a crime. Those responsible must be punished. The failure to do so is a striking blow against justice and human rights. The Attorney General noted that the decision to close the investigation ‘was not intended to, and does not resolve, broader questions regarding the propriety of the examined conduct.’

But when will those ‘broader questions’ be addressed? And when will the U.S. government meet its international human rights obligations to ensure accountability for torture and other crimes under international law? There must be a full and impartial investigation, prosecutions where warranted, and remedy and redress for victims. Failure to ensure accountability for torture and other crimes is itself a violation of international law."

Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning grassroots activist organization with more than 3 million supporters, activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries campaigning for human rights worldwide. The organization investigates and exposes abuses, educates and mobilizes the public, and works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied.

CIA Rendition Victim Will Have His Day in EU Human Rights Court

Top Macedonian Official Expected to Confirm Masri's Kidnapping

by Jason Ditz, May 14, 2012

The “extraordinary rendition” of Khalid el-Masri, the bungled CIA kidnapping of a German car salesman over a case of mistaken identity, is going to get a very high profile, very public hearing, as the European Court of Human Rights has agreed to hear the case.

El-Masri was kidnapped during his vacation by the Macedonian government at the behest of the US in late 2003. During his detention he was tortured by the CIA for several months, and sent to Afghanistan and Iraq.

The CIA apparently thought it had Khaled al-Masri, a completely different person, and when they discovered that they had kidnapped an innocent car dealer, they dumped him off in a deserted road in Albania in the middle of the night.

The German government says the US has confirmed that it has “mistakenly” kidnapping el-Masri, and a WikiLeaks cable revealed that the US had warned Germany not to attempt to issue any warrants related to the case.

Though the kidnapping is a recognized fact, the Macedonian government has repeatedly denied any involvement. This is expected to change, as an unnamed senior minister in the Macedonian government is planning to testify at the court that the account Masri gave of the “rendition” was accurate.
