he heimers have arrived in ukraine. this was reported on twitter by the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, how many such weapons have given us an impression at what distance they hit targets and how these jet systems will help us in an artillery confrontation. globalists strategy 21 i congratulate you, let us know. i want to start with such a statement here, the deputy of the state duma of the aggressor country, the deputy of our defense committee, yuriy shvydkin, his the name stated that russia should strike the building of the us embassy in kyiv in response and supply the armed forces with empty hammer launchers . how should one respond to such statements? well, the territory of the embassy is essentially the territory of this state. there

more widely it seems er his quote to consider there he told me something about the strikes on the pentagon well actually not so long ago in historical perspective bin laden er on the nose hit the pentagon he was found in his er bunker and liquidated. i think this is the fate of putin, the fate awaits putin and the author of the entire statement about the bombing of the american embassy, ​​well, in fact, if there, god forbid, a missile hits the us embassy, ​​it can be considered that such a challenge is already serious for the fight. actually speaking, 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 i lucky, we will consider it better than this. let it not happen. of course, this is the case with hamers. there is information that today biden also reported on this. and he can sign one more aid package, among which these hamers and information may again be included. about the fact that about four units have already been transferred 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 this weapon is, in fact, how powerful it is and what territory it covers well

first of all, the minister of defense just informed us today that, in addition to hi-mars, we finally received the german partner of the industry 2000-no eh, this is also an important moment, eh, as for hi-mars, we received and are receiving not only american cameras and their modifications er, which er, were produced under license in other european countries, and the total number of them will be more than er, a dozen. so this is quite a powerful force, because in addition to er, these weapons have a large radius of action with -commensurate with hurricanes of the russian federation, soviet, but if

er, the soviet systems are an area strike system, that is the hymers of each missile, er, it is not unguided like a rocket, and it has its own target, its own flight path, one missile, one target , if you take the ratio of a hurricane salvo and one haimas missile, they can be comparable in terms of this can be compared in terms of effectiveness, because once again, in all soviet-made rszs, they envisage, well, this is the strategy of the 20th century, to cover with a larger area, the probability of hitting the target directly, if this target is not

, er, no more than a football field, then that is enough low accuracy of heimers - it seems to be up to there, depending on the warhead, uh, from 5 to 10 mm. that is, it is definitely almost one hundred percent hit, if not, if not one hundred percent, then fragmentation is definitely correct. i understand definitely. well, here the accuracy multiplied by the power decides that one rocket, 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, a special representative of the eu. and him

gilmores he is from human rights from 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 but is he ready to name the crimes in buch genocide and also how it will help ukraine in the document of russian crimes, our roksolana lisovska spoke with him about all this, i will document the temporarily occupied territories and what needs to be changed in ukrainian legislation regarding minorities for the further accession of ukraine to the eu, we talked about all this with the special representative of the european union for human rights, eamon gilmore, secrete your ukrainian, so that you can already congratulate your ukrainian colleagues on the ratification of the istanbul

convention. i am completely delighted with the decision to ratify the istanbul convention . ukraine, but also in europe. and i think it is very telling that this decision was approved literally in a few days after the european commission recommended granting ukraine the status of a candidate for membership of the european union and irpin, yesterday you were in bucha and irpin, what are your impressions and can it be called a genocide, what i saw in bucha was clearly 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 children used to play, a destroyed bridge and civil infrastructure.

civilians were killed by aggressors and i think that this showed that there is clear 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 to support the work of ukraine to support the work of the international criminal court and the investigations it conducts 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 in parts of ukraine, all these people should be brought to justice. some countries recognized it as genocide. can you also call it genocide? genocide is a decision that must be made by the court, and therefore we must work step by step . the prosecutor general and she explained to me what work she and her office are doing in the investigation

of crimes. i know that the international criminal court and its chief prosecutor have already started an investigation. the european union supports these efforts financially support by organizing member states working together to expand the eurojust mandate we call this law enforcement coordination between member states in addition we recently agreed to create a group on violent crimes with the united states and the united kingdom so the european union supports these investigative efforts to collect evidence is to add it to the court and then allow these courts to decide on their own what crimes have been committed and apply punishment to those who are responsible tell me about this visit there were several goals, first of all, to reaffirm the european union's support for ukraine and its people and our total condemnation of the war and russia and its subsequent aggression, secondly, i have

to focus on the human rights aspects and things related to war crimes in this war so i had the opportunity to hear first-hand the testimonies of people. more needs to be done to support the investigation efforts so that all those responsible for these crimes are brought to justice in the end. ukraine is on the way to joining the eu. what is the human rights situation in ukraine and what needs to be changed? yatnytsia decided to recommend granting ukraine the status of a candidate, this means that there should be a process of discussion between ukraine and european institutions on the fulfillment of obligations regarding membership in the european union, all obligations are written in in the treaties of the european union, at the very beginning

, they state that countries applying for membership of the european union must observe democracy, respect human rights, respect minorities, and also behave to promote themselves as members of the european union. i believe that ukraine has made a good start with the ratification of the istanbul convention today in the parliament but since 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 set out in the association agreement between the european union and ukraine, we will work with ukraine and with the authorities of ukraine to ensure the fulfillment of the standards expected of all members of the european union, we will work with ukraine to ensure the achievement of this process . of minorities in ukraine, in your opinion, what should be changed

as one of the conditions of eu membership? there is respect for minorities, which includes national religious and gender issues. broad definition of a minority, the issue of national minorities is a problem that arises in many member states and it is regularly resolved very often it concerns issues 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 council of europe has recommendations that can help you. what are the standards required for membership in the european union? the prosecutor's office, the eu advisory mission, which was really here before the start of the last phase of the war on february 24,

we also support the work of the international criminal court. we have joint investigative teams created between member states, because different countries and members can also investigate such cases, this is called universal jurisdiction in that country -members will cooperate as a whole in the euro is a body that leads the process by which law enforcement agencies of member states exchange information about crimes based on cross-border bases, it was set up to allow the preservation of evidence from ukraine for their further use, and we 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 continue to discuss with the ukrainian authorities so that eventually we brought to justice those guilty of war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law los and the last question is whether

the monitoring of people's rights takes place temporarily in the occupied territories of ukraine, the problem is that there is actually no monitoring in the temporarily occupied territories, the russian aggressor has taken control of the territory, there is no access for the international community. and this is what the international community should solve. there should not be any part of the world where the international community , in particular, the un system, does not have access and does not can control what happens 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 are fully restored. the united states, the european union, and the united kingdom have created an advisory group on atrocity crimes to help ukraine

investigate a large number of russian war crimes in ukraine. experts who have worked in international tribunals around the world will advise the office of the prosecutor general and regional prosecutors on the ground, how the project will work in ukraine and whether it is possible to create a special tribunal for russia in an interview with special envoy of the united states on issues of global criminal justice, let's see

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. acts were committed during this terrible war, the second component of the advisory group on violent crimes will be the creation of mobile groups justice, these will be interdisciplinary teams of experts, both ukrainian and international, who will be sent to places 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 in the types of war crimes which we see throughout ukraine, such as the use of sexual violence, the use of hunger as a weapon of war, attacks on cultural values, which we see throughout ukraine, and how about you cooperate with the prosecutor general of ukraine, this is a project 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, so we hope that the advisory group on violent crimes will give it the experience of the country is necessary, but ukraine and russia are not parties to the rome statute, this makes it difficult to prosecute volodymyr and russian officials, and the same is the case with the un court, it is limited by its jurisdiction at the same time, is it possible create a special tribunal for russia and what should be its model throughout the international international criminal court has legal events in ukraine

ukraine has agreed to this temporarily ratified the treaty as you noted, however , states can inform the court that they do not ratify the treaty but recognize the court's decision regarding the crimes committed on its 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 three main crimes and crimes against humanity and war crimes, it does not have 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 occurring in ukraine this includes the international criminal court,

cases can also be submitted to the courts of third countries, european courts that can exercise universal jurisdiction over international crimes. therefore, there are already several places where cases of war crimes can be filed. nevertheless, it is important to review all proposals and a 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 the guilty will be identified and brought to justice responsibility what the international community and the law must do to ensure this is extremely important that the international community continues to invest in documenting international crimes no prosecution can take place without accurate a as russia and russian agents are known masters of disinformation therefore

digital artifacts created during the war in ukraine will need to be scrutinized to ensure that they can be used in court is a real problem which i believe is yours the question will be the detention of the accused, there are some people who are currently in custody in ukraine, but there are some of the senior members who may be responsible for issuing orders or now international crimes or those who may be held accountable for what we call the doctrine of collective responsibility the problem may be the accused, because if they remain in russia, it will be difficult to exercise jurisdiction over them, many systems can not conduct trials in absentia, that is, they must hold the accused in custody in order to be able to initiate criminal proceedings against them, but the law very clearly indicates that individuals can be prosecuted at all levels of command. thus, directly the perpetrators can be held responsible , 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 according to the doctrine of liability superior, this doctrine says that managers or subordinates who commit abuses can be held responsible if they knew or should have known that their subordinates were committing abuses and they did not take the necessary measures to prevent these abuses or did not hold subordinates accountable for what was committed. masses of documentation and this is really true because the war between russia and ukraine is now going on almost live, everyone is broadcasting it. but does this make the investigation of war crimes in ukraine easier and what are the main challenges i face? yes, this war

will be documented in detail, not only because we have a number of international organizations that deal with documentation, but also because there are ordinary ukrainians who can become documentarians by simply using their smartphones. in previous years, sometimes the difficulty was the lack of information. documentation, now we can have the opposite problem of excess documentation, so it is very important to be able to review all this data to verify its validity and choose the best evidence that can be brought to court luckily now we have the ability to train computers to 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 it with prosecutors from all over the world who conduct war crimes cases. and what is the difficulty from a legal point of view in recognizing the mass murders in bucha irpen gostomeli as genocide?

and what is the prospect of this recognition in the united states, the internet the three main inter-war crimes are crimes against what there is an additional element of intent 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 intentions. which must be proven is 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 intent, it is possible to emphasize that many actions that 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 which take place in ukraine so that prosecutors can decide whether they can prove all the elements of an international crime necessary to reach a guilty verdict of trafficking."

well, let me 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. the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, and the head of european diplomacy, josé borel, also congratulated the new status. let's
