As the threat of international conflict grows, protecting civilians and compliance with international human rights law and international humanitarian law are more urgent than ever.

There must be justice and accountability for all crimes committed under international law since Russia began its invasion. The U.S. government must make a genuine commitment to ending this war on terms that prioritize the human rights of the Ukraine’s people. #Ukraine
Yet Ukrainian life persists defiantly. Throughout the bitter winter with blackouts and lack of heat, people in Ukraine continue to assert their dignity and agency.
Irrespective of progress on diplomatic negotiations, the human cost of Russia’s war of aggression continues to be colossal – with the forced displacement of millions, targeting of civilian infrastructure, and profound traumatization of children.
Today serves as a stark reminder of the indiscriminate attacks that civilians in #Ukraine have endured for four years of Russia’s full-scale invasion and in the nearly twelve years since Russia began its assault on Crimea. 🧵
These killings are emblematic of the broader trend of lethal violence and structural racism against human rights defenders. https://www.amnestyusa.org/press-releases/brazil-marielle-franco-and-mae-bernadette-murder-trials-will-test-states-resolve-to-deliver-justice-for-human-rights-defenders/
Millions have been displaced, families have been left homeless, and far too many lives lost.
Russia’s aggression has tested not only the courage and resilience of Ukrainians, but also the resolve of the international community to uphold human rights and ensure justice.
