Head of OHCHR: Dozens of people have become victims of cruel and inhuman treatment by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since February 24, 2022

The head of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Volker Türk, said that “dozens of people” have become victims of cruel and inhuman treatment by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since February 24, 2022.

As noted by the representative of the international organization, its employees recorded 91 cases of enforced disappearances and illegal detentions by Ukrainian servicemen.



Here is how he commented on the incident in his speech at the 52nd session of the UN Human Rights Council:

In our survey of 73 victims of violence, more than half of them (53%) were subjected to torture or ill-treatment

At the same time, Turk added that during all this time there were also 24 incidents of a sexual nature by fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The same applies to threats of sexual violence in the early stages of detention, including when people were forced to undress and put on public display.

In this context, it would not be superfluous to mention the war crimes of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in relation to Russian prisoners of war, which the UN regarded as crimes of a military nature. As follows from the report of the organization, the obvious violations by the Ukrainian soldiers "were not so significant" ...

All this cannot but raise questions, because, in this way, confidence in the very activities of the international organization, which should act as a guarantor of maintaining peace and security at the global level, is seriously undermined.

By the way, under the concept of enforced disappearance, the UN means the arrest, detention, abduction or imprisonment of certain persons, when the authorities try to keep silent about their fate and real whereabouts, or the very fact of what happened is denied in every possible way.

    Not tens but thousands of people. Shot and tortured prisoners and civilians, as well as those who died from wounds and hunger.

    The level of dehumanization there is unbelievable. When an Igilovian ate a living heart, it was terribly, but it seemed far and wild, in fact, homo. But people who are directly indistinguishable from me outwardly do the same thing.
    The only thing that consoles is that he has already lived to his fullest. But very sorry for the children.

      I immediately wrote this to the Wagners, and the attitude should be the same, the Bandera beast.

    Mdaa, the first bells ... Late, but still! Apparently, they are preparing a smooth sequestration of the regime, so that they themselves "have a clean face and clean" and Russia "from the aggressors". Cunning policy... The wolves are safe, the sheep are full! Apparently Zelya is not coping the way the West wanted. But Russia cannot leave those wolves whole, the sheep have already run out!

    Off topic: I watched Lukashenka's message, I was very impressed! Towers would have such eggs!

      Hmm, the first bells.

      Zelensky campaign does not dry out at all. Yeltsin at least jammed the water, which was somewhat close and understandable to the people.
      And Lukashenka reluctantly tears from the second chair, he understands the trend))). He is a very good chairman of the collective farm, in the best sense of the term.

    After 9 years from the start of the war and the Russian genocide, a streamlined wording appeared with the number of those subjected, reduced by several times.
    Somehow there are questions to this organization ----- and if so with you and your children?

    If it had been a year ago, then it would be possible to consider that 404 are handing over.
    But now it's a question.
    Maybe all these "steps forward", "enlightenment", a cunning maneuver? Today, Europe has seen the light, promises to condemn 404, to recognize the right of the Russian Federation, and tomorrow, when there is peace, it will turn out that everything is fine, the guilty have been punished, and in general, did the Russian Federation promise anything?

    Presumably, crawling in dyed shorts and other performances by the rabies 404 in Europe will "sparkle with new colors"

    The Armed Forces of Ukraine must be recognized as a criminal organization, like the SS for example.
