Presentation: “What’s Happening during War Trials: Interim Findings of the Monitoring Report by Human Rights Defenders”

Why this is interesting:
The Media Initiative for Human Rights (MIHR) analyzes, highlights and draws attention to major trials in Ukrainian courts as well as to problems of pre-trial investigation of crimes committed in the conditions of russia’s armed aggression.

Throughout 2022 and the beginning of 2023, the MIHR has monitored more than 90 cases of war crimes and informed journalists of them. The MIHR experts attended court hearings in 20 of these cases. They were present in the courtrooms, documented evidence, parties’ positions and judges’ decisions. The collected data became the basis of the analytical material. The MIHR analyzed the way criminal proceedings are considered from several perspectives and identified a number of problems that courts, participants in legal proceedings, experts and the media should pay attention to. In particular, the analytical document describes and analyzes the complicated access to trials; highlights the problems of overload in courts and formal consideration of cases; the complexity of trial in absentia and execution of sentences is described as well.
