Human Rights Watch submits a report, which states that there are those responsible for the shelling of Donbas civilians on both sides of the conflict

48
Representatives of an international human rights organization Human Rights Watch published a report, which presents the preliminary findings of the HRW commissions working in the Donbas, about those responsible for a series of recent tragedies. The report, published on the official website of the organization, states that both parties to the conflict are engaged in active hostilities, refusing to divert heavy equipment and large-caliber artillery systems to the distance stipulated by the agreements.

Representatives of HRW report that, in their opinion, the shelling of a bus near Volnovakhi, as well as the eastern suburbs of Mariupol, was carried out from territories controlled by the DPR militia. Wherein Human Rights Watch question the statements of the Ukrainian side that the Russian army is involved in the conflict.

From the report:
Ukrainian authorities and other governments say that there has been a significant increase in the number of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine. Human Rights Watch did not determine the presence of Russian troops in the east of Ukraine and involvement in any particular attack.


At the same time, representatives of HRW report that Ukrainian troops were involved in the attacks on Donetsk, including the attack on the trolleybus, which was at one of the Donetsk stops.

Human Rights Watch submits a report, which states that there are those responsible for the shelling of Donbas civilians on both sides of the conflict


From the report:
Employees of HRW identified the presence of a rebel base (DNR militia - approx. "VO") approximately 500 meters from the site. Apparently, this base was the goal of the Ukrainian government troops. HRW documented that the rockets fired from Grad hit the residential area. The presence of a rebel military base in the direction of attack and the location of government forces show that government forces are responsible for the attack.


The mass media of Ukraine, covering the HRW report, selected from it only those paragraphs that refer to the responsibility of the militias. Items in which Human Rights Watch accuses representatives of the Ukrainian troops, ukropress decided not to offer their readers for familiarization.

      I’m not even surprised that the militia is being put on the same line with the freaks from the ruins that bombed the civilian population for a year. These creatures themselves shot at Volnovakha, Mareupol, DOUBLE STANDARDS AT AMERICAN MURDERS. They accuse the DNR and the LNR in their provocations against the militias.

          This phrase explains absolutely ALL the processes in the world coming from the Western world .. They just want to eat, and since all available resources have been eaten (look at the debts of "civilized countries"), they are forced to eat others, because the capitalist system cannot work differently ..

        at the expense of a blow to mariupol I think you need to relax. It is quite possible - and even most likely it is - that they were all the same militias. Well, or it was a very successful provocation - a mosquito will not pop its nose as they say.

        the fact is that there were bars hanging from the city right along the middle of the streets. People took off these blanks. All this is easily tied to the terrain and an unambiguous conclusion comes. All shells really flew in from the northeast. And there were militias.

        No, I tried hard to draw a line between the positions of ukrov in the sartan and the defeat zone, but not how the northeast does not work out. Sartana, this is north of where the shells fell. And east of Sartana, there were militias.

        in addition, it is known that the militias that day launched an attack on Mariupol, which broke off immediately after the attack of the city. You can certainly explain in different ways. Either the militiamen lupanuli accidentally and decided not to take any more risks, or immediately realized that this was a very successful provocation and for some reason stopped storming. However, unequivocal evidence that they were Ukrainians was also not presented.

        so I will not rush to conclusions. At least for now.

          And you ask the residents of Mariupol where the missiles came from. They will unanimously declare to you that they flew to Vostochny from the direction of the Ilyich plant, and this is exactly the north-western direction relative to the East. And there are still no militias in the north-west. And whatever you are fond of finding the militias, where further in the northwest, I will add the range of the Grad system (and it was just Grad, no one here doubts) 3-4 km, depending on the type of charge.

          Dear, have you seen, at least once, when a rocket explodes from a hail nearby, say, 5 meters from a vehicle, what happens to it? And in the bus even the glass remained intact in some places - this is nonsense, there was an explosion of some smaller explosive device and a rather large amount of the striking element - it’s very similar to MONK, you would refer to Parashenka with a piece of iron from the bus.

I don’t know the truth, but I draw my conclusions on the facts there are: the closest battles to Mariupol are 58 km in Volnovakha, the maximum hail range is 20,4 km (I can’t be mistaken for a long time I’m not serving). Militia could be fired only from the areas of Kosyanivka, Zarya, Guntovo - there are no militias ... what was the report based on? If the commission cannot merge the performance characteristics of the complex with the current situation - what for do such commissions really need?

      Not everything is so optimistic. Here is the Yandex translation of the article from the site:
      http://www.hrw.org/news/2015/02/03/ukraine-rising-civilian-death-toll
      (Berlin) - separatist rebel forces were probably responsible for the last two illegal assaults withunguided missiles in eastern Ukraine, which together killed at least 41 people, including two children, and injured more than 100 civilians, Human Rights Watch said.

      During a recent on-site investigation, Human Rights Watch also found that both Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed insurgent forces are unnecessarily endangering civilians through the deployment of military targets and the use of explosive ordnance with widespread effect in populated areas, including number near school buildings, in violation of international humanitarian law.

      “Two of the deadly attacks from civilian casualties during recent hostilities were due to the illegal use of unguided missiles by Russian-backed rebels,” said Ole Solvang, senior emergency researcher at Human Rights Watch. “All parties must abandon the use of these weapons in settlements.”

      Around January 10, 2015, after a relatively calm two months of fighting in eastern Ukraine, government forces and rebels fought for control of Donetsk airport significantly increased and spread to several parts of the Ukrainian front. The intensification of hostilities has led to a significant increase in accidents..

      A medical official gathering of information from rebels and government-controlled areas said at least 341 people, including 71 women and 6 children, died in the Donetsk region in January. A Human Rights Watch study found that a significant number of January victims were civilians, including children aged 2.

      Many of the recent deaths were due to violations of the laws of war, in particular the illegal use of unguided rockets in densely populated areas, Human Rights Watch found. 24 January unguided rockets, probably launched from rebel-controlled territory, killed 30 civilians and 1 soldiers in Mariupol and injured more than 90 civilians. One of the missiles hit the school’s courtyard. On January 13, unguided rockets, it is also possible to launch from rebel-controlled territory, 12 civilians are killed and 18 are wounded at a checkpoint near Volnovakha. Circumstances indicate Ukrainian government forces' responsibility for the unguided missile attack in Donetsk on January 13, killing two civilians.

      So that's it, do not flatter yourself.

      HRW representatives report that, in their opinion, the shelling of the bus near Volnovakha, as well as the eastern outskirts of Mariupol, was carried out from territories controlled by the DPR militia.

      This "Human Right Watch" determines the direction of the strikes from the photographs! What can be discussed. How are they represented in the Donbass, well, I understand the OSCE in the Donbass, but where are these?
      Grant-eaters from the West, who portray vigorous human rights activities with the money of the West, so that local humanists do not get too excited! Hence the game of objectivity, when not with one's own, not a stranger.

      In 2010, philanthropist businessman George Soros announced a $ 100 million commitment over the next decade to support the organization. Human Rights Watch is one of the most effective organizations that I support, "Soros said.


      And go to the Russian website of this organization, you will immediately understand everything.
      https://www.hrw.org/ru

      An example of submitting information from a site.

      Russia: Sentence in the case of the attack on Nalchik
      Punitive arson in Chechnya
      Homophobic violence and the persecution of the LGBT community in Russia
      Russia: Offensive on Human Rights Continues
      Ukraine: War in the East, the occupation of Crimea
      Etc.

      But the section is about the USA. Feel the difference.

      USA: Reform Police and Criminal Justice
      USA: Surveillance negatively affects journalism, advocacy, and democracy
      Uzbekistan: US must use high-level meeting to counter violations

      But what does Latynin's "oscilloscope arrow" say about this organization?
      ... Two tricks that HRW uses to constantly criticize Israel are very simple. The first is a refusal to study the causes of the conflict. “We are not studying the causes of the conflict,” says HRW, “we are studying how parties to the conflict respect human rights.” Wow! Imagine that you are a woman who was attacked by a maniac in the forest, and you managed to shoot him. From the perspective of HRW human rights defenders, you will be to blame. The second method is even simpler - it is juggling, silence and falsehood.

      Oleg Popov, who participated in the human rights movement from 1969 to 1982
      “HRW took over the functions of outreach for the diplomatic, economic and military intervention of NATO countries, primarily the United States, in the internal affairs of other countries”

      Latynina condemns HRW for condemning Israel, and Popov, who directly accuses HRW of aiding NATO! Good organization. wassat

      There is certainly complete nonsense in the media - but this still does not attach much attention.
      For 20 years in Germany I never cease to be surprised. Here everyone is used to and reconciled to the fact that the media is a fairy tale and has long been scored.

      I asked the Germans a simple question.
      Is it normal if the media is allowed to intentionally lie?
      They answer - of course - what's wrong? freedom of speech.

      So they relate to everything that is happening in the world. Few people really care because they understand that they are still being deceived, and this is normal!

      Almost all Germans scored about Ukraine. This for them is like some kind of conflict between some kind of African natives. And it doesn’t matter how many natives were killed there, for a German. Indeed, in their opinion, Putin personally killed.

      Those who did not score, however, are well aware of what is happening, but only noble RT.
      I'm sorry for those. It is difficult to imagine the degree of dissonance of a German who is beginning to realize what kind of ass his country has got, which has practically no military potential.

    The wording of the report is very convenient for interpretation in the right direction by anyone and as you like! The organization exists, works, writes reports, publishes them, and what next? None of the diplomats will seriously accept the report as an official document, but wave it like a bogey (or a piece of bus lining) - this is welcome!
    They interpreted the Yugoslav tangle of wars extremely one-sided, and they generally study hot spots in the East from a distance (you can understand them, it’s easy to put the head off and just like that). And in Ukraine - they feed, water, dress, provide transport, and they don’t just cut their heads.
    So the efficiency of a human rights office with all their enthusiasm is less than that of a steam locomotive (at least he was driving, and with them, everything goes to the whistle report!)

Today I watched from reports from Donetsk how indifferently they looked at the corpses of people lying on the sidewalk, moreover, they stepped over them and noted something there. Immediately thought - and what is the reason for this indifference ...? And then the facts of the refusal of the work of the OSCE mission and other organizations in a combat situation ... And you know, the reason is that they do not value anything else in life in life - but only YOUR LIFE (skin) This is their true one. Therefore, what trust in similar Geyropovsky organizations, yes they burn in the fire ... No Europeans will be told no offense, but they crossed the red line. Let them prepare for retribution ...

Here HRV is like a certain standard of truth. God forbid the HRV gets dirty in something, it will be a severe crisis.

    ... they wrote more than once on the VO, and the people laid out eyewitnesses and videos, and the militia laid out specific facts that the city of militias at that time was not closer than 50 km, and the blow was from the territory controlled by dill!

    The main thing is that they prove that Russia is not a party to the conflict and this is an intra-Ukrainian crisis. And which side to support Russia is not for the West to decide.

    There are still adequate organizations in the west. This makes me happy


    It’s you who got excited :) All the existing Western organizations are only spokesmen for the interests of the same West. What adequacy can we talk about ?? It will only be adequate if they are beneficial for them, or they will be very afraid.
