GENEVA Russian soldiers have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, a United Nations-appointed panel of independent legal experts said in a damning statement on Friday that concluded war crimes had been committed in the conflict.
A three-person Commission of Inquiry set up in April to investigate the conduct of hostilities in four areas of Ukraine laid out the graphic allegations in an unusually hard-hitting, 11-minute statement to the U.N Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined, the panels chairman, Erik Mose, told the council.
He added: Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons. The exposure to repeated explosions, crimes, forced displacement and separation from family members deeply affected their well-being and mental health.

I think everyone here on DU already knows that Putin is a war-criminal.
So, we can file this under No shit, Sherlock.
War crimes are punishable by death.
EXECUTION is the only proper punishment for Putin.

I hope I'm right.

(9,998 posts)Eventually.......there will be accountability..
Unless there isn't.
Eventually is pretty open ended, and I'll believe it when I see it.

(758 posts)Regarding justice. My patience has worn so fucking thin that I hardly have any left.
Patience isn't a virtue. Its a F'n enabler of more wrong-doing.
I too am tired of eventually.

And we'll deserve it, because we couldn't hold the perpetrators and planners of this one accountable.
