11:00 AMKYIV– Mykola Komarovskyi, lawyer at the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (online)Discussion of the submission to the ICC Prosecutor’s Office: “Why does Russia’s abduction of children qualify as genocide?”

Topics of focus:
– Why is the forced transfer of children not just a war crime, but a “crime of all crimes”?
– How do Russians incriminate themselves and document their crimes about international law violations?
– What’s unique about this document and what consequences can it entail?
– How many children were displaced to Russia and what is their fate?

Why is this interesting?
Human rights activists have studied in detail how Russia deported Ukrainian children to its territory. In a new submission to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, it is argued that the case of the unlawful transfer of children should be recognized as genocide, not a war crime. This very case previously issued an arrest warrant for Putin.
