In 1949, as a result of the devastating World War II, European countries adopted the most important instrument of international humanitarian law - the four Geneva Conventions. With the ratification of which the countries of the civilized world have confirmed their intention never to allow such a tragedy again.
At the heart of these conventions and their protocols is the prohibition of killing and ill-treatment of civilians, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and the use of weapons that cause undue damage or unnecessary suffering.
In the best traditions of the Hitlerite Empire, the military forces of the Russian Federation fire mostly on the civilian population and civilian infrastructure, taking lives every hour and leveling entire cities and villages. Using weapons prohibited by the Geneva Conventions and a number of international treaties.
Sumy region, Okhtyrka, the enemy used thermobaric ammunition - the so-called "vacuum bomb" hit the oil tank. In 1976, the United Nations passed a resolution declaring weapons of this type "inhumane means of warfare that cause excessive human suffering."
The city of Kharkiv is shelled by cluster bombs filled with "petal" mines that are recognized as illegal weapons under the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Cluster Munitions and on Their Destruction.
Enemy anti-personnel mines were found near residential buildings in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia Oblast, which are not permitted under the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction.
The use of such weapons by enemy troops against civilians is a crime against humanity and a violation of all four 1949 Geneva Conventions.
Russia's war against Ukraine is not an armed conflict, not an absurd phrase "special operation", it is the GENOCIDE of the Ukrainian people with special cruelty!
I appeal to the international community to impose sanctions on Russia that are commensurate with the crimes of a terrorist state!
The future of the whole civilized world is being decided now on Ukrainian soil! Ukraine needs your help!
