Your Excellency, |
Please
call on the authorities in Russia to respect international law, protect
civilians, and stop Russian aggression in Ukraine. |
Since
the Russian invasion began on 24 February 2022, Amnesty International
has been documenting the escalation in violations of international
humanitarian and human rights law, including the killing and injuring of
civilians resulting from indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas and
infrastructure. |
Strikes
on protected objects such as hospitals and schools, the use of
explosive weapons with wide area effects, such as ballistic missiles and
artillery in civilian areas, and the use of banned indiscriminate
weapons such as cluster bombs, may constitute war crimes. All
perpetrators must be held to account. |
The
Russian Federation is acting in clear breach of its obligations under
international law. Its actions are blatantly against the rules and
principles on which the UN was founded. And it is abusing its position
as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to shield itself from
accountability.
