and you are serious about such a challenge. actually , diplomatic institutions and warships are the territory of the state itself, and an attack on them is considered an attack on the territory of the state. if the americans forgive, god forbid, if this happens, they will forgive russia for an attack on their territory, then i think that the russians are lucky let's assume that it's better than this. let it not happen. of course, this is the case, according to hammers. there is information that today biden was also reported by cnn about this. and he can sign another aid package, among which everyone can again be included. heimers and information about the fact that they have already transferred about four units to us and four more can be

transferred within the framework of this package, and four, well, eight units, how much do they change the course of the war, how much do they affect what, in essence, this weapon is how powerful it is and what territory it covers . - first of all, the minister of defense just informed us today that, in addition to the hi-mars, we finally received the german 2000 armor, this is also an important moment, eh, as for the hi-mars, we received and are receiving not only american hymers, let them modifications eh which eh were produced under license in other european countries and the total number of them will be more than a dozen. and this is quite a powerful force because in addition to eh these means of destruction have a

large radius of action eh commensurate with hurricanes rszu are soviet, but if the soviet systems are, uh , surface attack systems, then everyone’s haimers have a missile, uh, it’s not an unguided rocket. can be comparable in effectiveness, it can be compared , because once again, uh, in all soviet -made rszs, they foresee, well, such a strategy

of the 20th century, to cover the area with a greater probability of hitting the target directly, if these prices are no more than a football field, then it seems quite low depending on the warhead from 5 to 10 mm. that is, it is definitely almost one hundred percent hit, if not, if not one hundred percent, then it is definitely correct. i understand definitely. well, here the accuracy multiplied by the power decides that one missile but yes, that's actually what we wanted to understand

. thank you very much for the information, and for the clarification . pavlo lakiychuk, head of security programs of the center for global studies, strategy 21, was in touch with us . of human rights, he congratulated ukraine on the ratification of the istanbul convention and emphasized that this is a good signal for ukraine's further accession to the eu. during his visit, gilmar visited the places where war crimes were committed in ukraine , what he saw. it is a genocide, as well as how it will help ukraine in documenting russian crimes, our roksolana lisovska spoke with him about all this in the temporarily occupied territories and what needs to be changed in ukrainian legislation regarding minorities for the further accession

of ukraine to the eu. of the person by eamon gilmore street you ukrainian have you already congratulated your ukrainian colleagues on the ratification of the istanbul convention, you are quite delighted with the decision to ratify the istanbul convention, this is wonderful a signal especially for women in ukraine, but also in europe. and i think it is very telling that this decision was approved. literally in a few days, the european commission recommended that ukraine be granted the status of a candidate for membership in the european union and irpin, yesterday you were in buch and irpin. what are your impressions and is it possible call it genocide i saw that in bucha and it was clear evidence of war crimes i saw evidence that civilian objects were attacked by russian invaders i saw evidence of the destruction of residential buildings a destroyed shopping center places where before

children were playing, a destroyed bridge and civil infrastructure and of course, what i saw can be described as a place of martyrs in a mass grave, 116 bodies were discovered, these were civilians killed by aggressors, and i think that this showed that there is, or still is, evidence of war crimes and there should be responsibility for such crimes, one of the reasons for my visit is to discuss here with the authorities in ukraine what else we need to do both in ukraine and in the international community to support the work of ukraine to support the work of the international criminal the court and the investigation that he is conducting in order to bring to justice those who are guilty of what happened in bucha, what happened in irpen, in other cities and villages, in particular, in the occupied parts of ukraine, all these people and to be brought to justice . - this is a decision that must be made by the court, and therefore

we must work step by step, first of all, so that the investigation is thoroughly conducted. i spoke with the prosecutor general today and she explained to me what work she and her office are doing in investigating crimes i know that the international criminal court and its chief prosecutor have already started an investigation the european union supports these efforts with financial support by organizing member states that work together to expand the mandate of eurojust establishment of a violent crime group with the united states and the united kingdom thus the european union supports these investigative efforts to gather evidence to bring them to court and then allow these courts to independently decide what crimes were committed and to apply punishment to those who are active tell us more about your work in ukraine this visit also had several goals, first of all

to once again confirm the european union's support for ukraine and its of the people, our complete condemnation of the war and russia and its subsequent aggression, secondly, i have to focus on the aspects of human rights and things related to war crimes in this war, so that i had the opportunity to hear people's testimonies from the first university to do that by talking directly to the victims talking to civil society organizations as well and of course talking to members of the government and thirdly it's to look at what else we need to do to support investigative efforts so that those responsible for these crimes are ultimately brought to justice ukraine is currently on the way to joining the eu. what is the situation with human rights in ukraine and what needs to be changed? the european commission on friday decided to recommend that ukraine candidate status means that there should be a process

of discussion between ukraine and european institutions about the fulfillment of obligations regarding membership in the european union, these obligations are written in the treaties of the european union at the very beginning, they state that countries applying for membership in the european union must adhere to democracy have respect for human rights respect for minorities and must also agree to promote themselves as members of the european union i believe that ukraine has made a good start in ratifying the istanbul convention today in the parliament, but from my visit here a few months ago in october, i know that the process has already been achieved, we have specific areas that need to be changed, they are outlined in the association agreement between the european union and ukraine, and we will work with ukraine and with the authorities of ukraine in order to ensure the fulfillment of the standards expected from all members of the european union, we will work with ukraine to ensure the achievement of this process of reform of the legal framework

regarding national minorities in ukraine in your opinion what needs to be changed in this issue related to language and rights to education, but there are many good practices . the council of europe has done a lot of work in this area. the tsitsik commission, which is part of the council of europe, has recommendations that can help you meet the standards that are necessary for membership in the european union, tell me about the eu's latest assistance in documenting russian war crimes in ukraine well, we undertook to support the prosecutor's office with the eu's advisory mission, which was really here before the start of the last phase war on february 24, we also support the work of the international criminal court. we have joint

investigative groups created between member states because different countries and members can also investigate such cases. it is called universal jurisdiction, so member countries will cooperate as a whole in eurojust, which is the body that conducts the process. through which law enforcement agencies of member states exchange information about crimes on the basis of cross-border databases, this was configured to allow the storage of evidence from ukraine for their further use. we have also established cooperation with the united states and the united kingdom, so cooperation with the prosecutor's office in cooperation with the international criminal court will continue, and of course we will continue to discuss with the ukrainian authorities how best to do this so that in the end we bring to justice those responsible for war crimes and violation of international humanitarian law. the last question is whether monitoring of people's rights in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine is currently a problem in

because in reality there is no monitoring of the temporarily occupied areas . is happening to human rights, human rights must be respected everywhere, including in the occupied territories of ukraine, we will continue to work to ensure that human rights monitoring takes place and that people's rights were fully restored... in the united states, the european union and the united kingdom created an advisory group on atrocity crimes to help ukraine investigate a large number of russian

war crimes in ukraine. ukraine and whether it is possible to create a special tribunal for russia in an interview with a special strengthened us on issues of global criminal justice let's watch together with in ukraine , international organizations conduct their independent investigations here. they come and document the tracks of the beast from the russians against the ukrainians. what is the difficulty in defining the mass murders in buch irpen gostomeli as genocide? spoke with the us ambassador for international justice bedvanshak i know that together with the european union and the united kingdom they created a group on issues of cruel please tell us more about the

work of this group and what is its role. the joint advisory group on violent crimes is a project of the united states, the european union and the united kingdom. the first - this is a set of experts who will be in kyiv at the headquarters of the prosecutor general's apartment, they will provide her with strategic advice, operational assistance, etc. when it prepares cases and also thinks about how it is going to determine the priorities of accusations due to the many, many war crimes that were committed during this terrible war, the second component of the advisory group on atrocity crimes will be the creation of mobile groups of justice, these will be interdisciplinary teams of experts, both ukrainian and international, who will deployed to work with regional prosecutors to assist them in prosecuting cases in their specific areas

of activity, some of these mobile justice teams will be thematic. so they will have special experience regarding the types of war crimes that we see throughout ukraine, such as the use of sexual violence, the use of hunger as a weapon of war, attacks on cultural values ​​that we see throughout ukraine, and how exactly do you cooperate with the prosecutor general of ukraine, this is a project that provides experts to the prosecutor general to give her strategic advice and other operational support in her work. these are all veterans of international tribunals around the world. many of them worked for example in the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia and other war crimes courts they have a lot of experience in investigating war crimes and other atrocities and so they are here to help her she is very capable she has a very experienced war

crimes unit that works on these crimes since the 14th year and since russia invaded ukraine again, the criminal base is now huge, almost the entire country is a crime base, and therefore the prosecutor's office, which has the most evidence, needs help in this matter, therefore, we hope that the advisory group on violent crimes will give it the necessary time to the deputy. there is a year more minus, but ukraine and russia are not parties to the rome statute, this makes it difficult to bring vladimir putin and russian officials to justice. it is the same with the un court. is limited by its jurisdiction at the same time is it possible to create a special tribunal for russia and what should its model be international station the international criminal court has jurisdiction over the event in ukraine ukraine has agreed to it on on a temporary basis, it did not ratify the treaty, as

seen, however, states can inform the court that they do not ratify the treaty, but recognize the court's decision regarding crimes committed on their territory, therefore, any crimes committed on the territory of ukraine fall under the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, the international criminal court can exercise jurisdiction over the three main crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, it has no jurisdiction over the crime of aggression, there are proposals to create a special court that would be dedicated to ukraine and it is currently being discussed in various circles. i think that states are considering whether such a tribunal is needed now or that the international community should invest in existing mechanisms and institutions to guarantee their success, this includes the national courts of ukraine that have primary jurisdiction over war crimes and other atrocities that occur in ukraine, this includes the international criminal court, cases can also be submitted to the courts of third

countries, the courts of europe, which can universal jurisdiction over international crimes therefore, there are already several places where war crimes cases can be filed, nevertheless it is important to review all proposals and the priority for the entire international community is that the russian forces have violated international law and that the guilty must be brought to justice, so what are the chances that those responsible will be identified and brought to justice, what must be done by the international community and the law to ensure that westing is extremely important to the international community continued to invest in the documentation of international crimes, no prosecution can take place without accurate and rigorous documentation. and as you know, russia and the russian agents are masters of disinformation, so the digital artifacts created during the war in ukraine will need to be carefully checked to

ensure that they can be used in court the real problem, which i think is in your question, will be the detention of the accused, there are some persons who are now in custody in in ukraine, however, there are some of the highest members who may be responsible for issuing orders for committing international crimes or those who may be prosecuted for what we call the practice of collective responsibility, the real problem may be taking the accused into custody because if they remain in russia it is difficult to exercise jurisdiction over them many systems cannot hold trials in absentia i.e. they must detain the accused in order to be able to proceed against they have a criminal process, but the law very clearly indicates that persons can be prosecuted at all levels of command. thus , the perpetrators can be prosecuted directly, individuals in the chain of command up to the highest persons can be prosecuted for issuing

orders to commit offenses and they can also be prosecuted under the doctrine of vicarious liability , which states that managers whose subordinates commit misconduct can be prosecuted if they knew or should have known that their subordinates were committing abuses and they did not take the necessary measures to prevent abuses or did not hold their subordinates accountable for what was committed, you said about large volumes of documentation and this is really so. so russia's war against ukraine is barely going on now not live, everyone broadcasts it but does it make the investigation of war crimes in ukraine easier and what are the main challenges? we have a number of international organizations that deal with

documentation, but there are also ordinary ukrainians who, simply using their smartphones, can become documentarians . this data to check it for authenticity and choose the best evidence that can be submitted to the court luckily now we have the ability to train computers do some of this analysis so you don't need people to watch every piece of video we can use machines to analyze the video and identify the best sources of information and then share that with prosecutors around the world who are prosecuting war crimes and what 's the difficulty and with from a legal point of view to recognize the mass killings in buch irpen gostomel as genocide what is the perspective of this recognition in the usa i stream

international friends work friends translate there are three main international crimes war crimes crimes against humanity and genocide, which distinguishes the genetic element from the intention that must be conveyed. thus , genocide involves the commission of a series of actions by a protected group with the intention of destroying this group in whole or in part. the groups protected by the genocide convention are racial, religious, ethnic or national groups, and the intention that must be proven is in that the criminal or the state involved in this is trying to destroy this group in whole or in part, so there is an additional level of intention, it is possible to emphasize that many actions which are considered genocide are also crimes against humanity under international law and there is no need to prove this additional element of intent, so if and when prosecutors bring charges against individual russian leaders

or criminals, they will have to determine whether they acted with this genocidal intent. that is why it is so important to continue documenting the atrocities that are occurring in ukraine so that prosecutors can decide whether they can prove all the signs of an international crime in order to reach indictment a or do you cooperate with eurojust and how exactly? of this network recently i was in the hague and met with representatives of eurojust with some members of the team responsible for the investigation of the genocide, including a member of this network from ukraine, the

possibility of a free flow of information between national prosecution bodies is important for eurojust, and since cases are being considered in europe. for example, when criminals from russia either flee to europe or after 5-10 years decide to go to europe on business or for reasons, they can potentially become the subject of an indictment in the european court and eurojust enables european investigators and prosecutors to coordinate among themselves and exchange information so that they can act quickly when they fulfill such opportunities. i would like to remind you that today is a historic day for ukraine and 27 member states of the european union supported granting our country the status of a candidate for eu membership . minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba and head of european diplomacy jose borel also congratulated on the granted status. let's listen to them without unnecessary comments against the background of the war in today, the

european council made a historic decision in europe. the european union granted ukraine the status of a candidate country for membership. this is a decisive moment for the european union of ukraine and democracy in our country. common continent because europe is our common home, russian armed aggression will not be able to deprive people in europe of the right to live a normal and dignified life, ukraine will win, europe will win, we will go through a long journey together, which begins today. membership in the european union with this historic decision the european union sends a powerful signal the ukrainian people are part of

the european family of nations the future of ukraine in to the european union, ukraine and the eu continue to stand together in defense of peace. ukraine is incredibly grateful to you and to the european family. thank you. thank you
