Oleksandra Matviichuk, an Ukrainian human rights lawyer, head of the Center for Civil Liberties and 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, speaks during a session at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly in Strasbourg, eastern France, Thursday, Jan.26, 2023. The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly is holding an urgent debate on the legal and human rights aspects of the Russian's aggression against Ukraine.
BRUSSELS — A Ukrainian human rights lawyer who shared last year’s Nobel Peace Prize called Thursday for more international investigative and legal help to deal with the staggering amount of war crimes cases since Russia invaded its neighbor almost a year ago. Oleksandra Matviichuk of Ukraine’s Center for Civil Liberties told a session of the 46-nation Council of Europe, the continent’s foremost human rights organization, thatBut the glut of work the process entailed left the legal system unable to properly deal with most of them, Matviichuk said.
“The war has turned people into numbers. The scale of war crimes grows so large that it’s become impossible to recognize all the stories,” she said, insisting it remained essential to give each individual a sense of justice done. The war crime allegations against Russians involve the rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians, forced deportations, child abductions and the destruction of churches, schools and hospitals, the human rights lawyer said.“I work with people who have survived hell,” Matviichuk continued, “and I’m certain that above and beyond their own lives, ruined families, ruined vision of the future, these people crave to restore their trust that justice exists, even though delayed in time.

it s so fu$ked up that ur bosses now stand with nazies. World upside down today.
Question: “What is the first casualty of war?” While we think what the best answer would be let’s stop the war fist! Please!
The request should be denied. Oh, what community is that lawyer from?
The GOP supports Putin.
MORE BS!
I am in full support of the international community investigating all war crimes. I wonder though, why America's war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq didn't get any attention whatsoever. The USAF bombed an MSF hospital for 90 minutes, FFS.
A Ukrainian lawyer is totally impartial🤡
