Invisible Scars: Ukraine’s Disappeared amid Russian Aggression | International Center for Transitional Justice The numerous atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine have been part of the former's aggression since its initial invasion of the Crimea and Donbas regions in 2014, though they have skyrocketed in nu...

The UN Commission of Inquiry has established that Russia’s use of enforced disappearances and torture is thoroughly organised, widespread, and systematic, thus constituting a crime against humanity.

Alec Knight's & my analysis of one of the piercing Russian atrocities.

Russia’s defence spending is projected to exceed 6% of GDP by 2025.

Yet, as Mathieu Boulegue explains, its military-industrial complex is in decline - constrained by sanctions, war-related strain & structural inefficiencies.

International law bars amnesties and has no statute of limitations, notes @katerynabusol.bsky.social. This matters for any Russia-Ukraine peace deal that might try to shield perpetrators.

Our event on the struggle for justice in Ukraine, in partnership with @chrussiaeurasia.bsky.social is underway!

“Justice is served not only in courts, it takes many forms” - @katerynabusol.bsky.social

Ukraine’s Use of Technology in Sexual and Gender-Based Crimes Investigations Technology can help bring justice for Ukrainian survivors of sexual and gender-based crimes, but the process is not without challenges.

Russian forces have repeatedly carried out sexual and gender-based crimes against Ukrainian civilians, write Kateryna Busol & Polina Overchenko.

As #Ukraine pursues justice for survivors, they write, it is also wrestling with how best to incorporate #technology.

On this day in 1946, the Tokyo Trials were formally established—holding Japanese leaders accountable for WWII war crimes. A landmark for justice and a global stand against impunity. We reflect on its legacy and the ongoing pursuit of justice. #TokyoTrials #Accountability #WarCrimes

Russians' widespread conflict-related sexual violence against Ukrainian civilian and POW men remains misunderstood and even unseen. My article analyses the patterns and dynamics of these crimes and proposes ways to sensitise prosecutions and reparations.

Russia pretends to be a religious country. We must look not at words but at actions. This Sunday, many people celebrate the great Christian holiday. And the Russians hit the center of Sumy with ballistic missiles. They killed at least 20 people this Sunday. Putin does not stop killing civilians.

This little three-year-old boy was born under the explosions of Russian missiles in Ukrainian cities. And he was killed by the explosions of Russian missiles in Ukrainian cities.
Russia is killing Ukrainian children.
