Report: More than 500 specialists in international law have called on the UN General Assembly to unseat Israel.

New Report: 262 Men, 104 Women, 12 Children— #UN Details Sexual Violence Committed by Russian Forces in Ukraine

“War-related sexual violence is a violation of international human rights, humanitarian, and criminal law,” the HRMMU stated.

In Ukraine, many survivors of war-related sexual violence have come forward. Their testimonies are crucial for ensuring justice, holding perpetrators accountable, and preventing the further spread of this atrocity, according to the HRMMU.

Previously, the #UN reported that Russian authorities are systematically torturing #Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians, which constitutes a crime against humanity.
