Summary
That’s the only difference… The International Criminal Court (ICC) is keeping an eye on Russia in this war, only so declared by the order of the investigation. This is being seen as a warning to Russia. All his military activities are being monitored. Here, the war is taking an even more frightening form. The number of deaths has started coming to the fore amidst the continuous bombing.
The war in Ukraine is taking an even more frightening form. The number of deaths has started coming to the fore amidst the continuous bombing. Ukraine’s emergency service is getting news that airstrikes have taken place in the Chernihiv area here. At least 22 people have died in these attacks. More information is being gathered in this regard. Meanwhile, a prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) has opened an investigation into allegations of war crimes in Ukraine.
The investigation will investigate Russian officials on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and identify the guilty officials. In this Russia can be held responsible for war crimes. Prosecutor Karim Khan told that more than 12 court members had written to him for investigation.
He has informed all the judges of the ICC about this. They will focus on gathering evidence for the time being. Britain’s Foreign Minister Liz Truss said her country would work closely with the ICC in the investigation. Ukraine claims that more than 2,000 of its citizens have been killed in Russian attacks, bombings, etc. However, the claims have not been confirmed. agency
Hands are tied, police is neither power
- The ICC can hear an accused only after he has been arrested and not in absentia. But he has no police to arrest suspected military officers.
- It is also not possible to go to Ukraine to investigate and collect evidence because the war is going on.
War crime means…
The ICC, established in 2002, investigates war crimes. According to Marik de Hoon, who teaches at the University of Amsterdam, military attacks on civilians or civilian areas are war crimes. The rules of war are that military bases can be attacked. Indiscriminate bombing is also illegal because it cannot be controlled. These rules have been made under the Rome-Law.
