But as this war is being highlighted and expanding, we see these tactics be used but are now classified as war crimes. These crimes are being seen and Russia is being held responsible for their part in performing these tactics. ]]> 2023-03-28 16:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2535313116 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2535317125 "In line with the International Criminal Court, many countries now prohibit starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in their national war crimes codes. Some of these states have opened investigations into alleged war crimes in Ukraine and Syria."

This evidence connects to my point because it brings attention the method that Russia is performing that hurts people and this uncivil act of action is war is unpermitted. A court in and of itself has verified that such actions have started an investigation into such.]]> 2023-03-28 16:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2535317125 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536961816 "When the Geneva Conventions, key treaties governing warfare, were drafted after World War II, the U.S. and Great Britain successfully resisted efforts to prohibit such methods, ensuring that starvation of civilians would remain permissible in war for several more decades."

This evidence illustrates how such memos were trying not to be permitted for years now. This shows how Russia has gone against such things that were thought to be established. This convention was supposed to help strop such a horrible way of war that would be starving civilians in war.]]> 2023-03-29 15:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536961816 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536974625 "The effects have been devastating. From 2020 to 2022 the number of people who urgently require food assistance in situations of armed conflict rose from 99 million to 166 million. This includes nearly two-thirds of the population of South Sudan, with almost 1 person in 4 living in a full-blown humanitarian emergency there."

This evidence shows the severity of which such tactics does to people and the fallout from such. With Russia doing what they are doing they are only adding to these numbers and creating more world problems. Hunger in the last things people in war should have to worry about but Russia is forcing these people to have to go through this.]]> 2023-03-29 16:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536974625 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536983204 Summary: This story looks to highlight the resilience of these soldiers fighting but even more/also highlight the civil war crimes that Russia is doing to civilians. This details how Ukranian soldiers will continue to hold on and fight even after all of the lives lost from this war.]]> 2023-03-29 16:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536983204 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536999285 " Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed Monday not to retreat from Bakhmut as Russian forces encroached on the devastated eastern city they have sought to capture for six months at the cost of thousands of lives."

This evidence helps to break down the resilience the president hopes to hold strong to the people. The massive time frame that has allowed people to die at the hands of Russia's horribleness. ]]> 2023-03-29 16:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2536999285 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538616064 " Ukraine’s chief prosecutor announced a criminal investigation into what appeared to be Russian troops’ execution of an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war. A video circulating on social media showed a uniformed Ukrainian soldier standing and smoking. The soldier recites Ukraine’s battle cry, “Glory to Ukraine!” then a volley of gunshots hits him, and he falls into a shallow hole dug into the ground." 

This evidence shows the sadistic ways that Russia have broadcasted a crime of war. Killing an unarmed soldier for propaganda on video has led people to see how horrible Russia has been to their opposing sides. ]]> 2023-03-30 15:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538616064 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538637002 "Outrage over the video quickly sparked a flurry of social media posts, including by Zelenskyy, of “Glory to Ukraine!” In his nightly video address, Zelenskyy said: “I want us all together, in unity, to respond to his words: “Glory to the hero! Glory to heroes! Glory to Ukraine!” And we will find the killers.”

This evidence shows the resolve that Ukraine and the president himself must have for his people because such a video of a crime has been shown online.]]> 2023-03-30 16:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538637002 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538646330 Summary: This article details the atrocities that Ukraine is having to experiencing against Russia. Crimes against civilians and showing that Russia has no care in the world to stop these attacks on defenseless people. This details Russia's inability to have any strategy and perform horrible things to these people of this land they wish to gain from fear and intimidation. ]]> 2023-03-30 16:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538646330 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538657233 "Over the past several days, reporters and social-media users have
documented what appear to be some truly horrific outrages perpetrated on the Ukrainian people by occupying Russian forces. The Biden
administration says that these atrocities are aligned with the broader Russian policy aim of terrorizing the Ukrainians into submission." 

This evidence helps lock in on why Russia is committing these crimes. They are trying to use fear as a tool to win this war in Ukraine, but in doing this the crimes they commit along the way are showing the savagery that they are ok with doing.]]> 2023-03-30 16:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538657233 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538661182 "These sorts of crimes occur when military organizations are
committed into combat without clear, achievable objectives, and without a professional noncommissioned-officer corps to enforce discipline within the ranks. They are what happens when military organizations are not held to account for their actions; when soldiers, after seeing the deaths of their friends in the face of unforeseen resistance, resort to savagery; and when the guardrails to prevent such a descent into inhumanity are absent." 

This evidence explains to how Russia is able to do these crimes. With them not having objectives they are clear to act however they see fit with no consequence which include them able to kill whoever they want regardless of if they are innocent or not.]]> 2023-03-30 16:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538661182 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538666176 "That we kept our military engaged in
combat for 20 consecutive years without facing horrors on the scale that we are witnessing in this relatively short conflict in Ukraine is truly remarkable. But ensuring that will remain the case in future conflicts will take hard work."
and vigilance.

This evidence greatly gets the point across about how we have to be mindful of the future. This war is showing the crimes are being committed and how we need to look and thing on ourselves but also what Ukraine is going through right now.]]> 2023-03-30 16:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538666176 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538676697 Summary: This article details how Ukraine can change prosecuting war crimes based off what has happened to them in their country. The crimes against people are important and targeting them is what Russia has been doing and they must be held accountable for their actions.]]> 2023-03-30 16:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538676697 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538688643 "Deliberately targeting civilians and nonmilitary objectives is a war crime, whereas the crime of aggression covers the totality of the attacks and all of their killings, including the killings of Ukrainian soldiers. All those involved should be held liable for aggression."

This evidence helps to specifically tell why and what Russia is doing. These crimes of attacking people with no care is a crime of war. They have no objective in this war that deals with anything specifically related to civilians being harmed forwardly. ]]> 2023-03-30 16:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538688643 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538708263 "But the importance of the right to fight is being overtaken by a human rights perspective arguing that the human right to life is more salient. The United Nations’ Human Rights Committee stated in 2018 that lives taken as part of a war of aggression represent violations of the right to life." 

This evidence brings into question the rights that soldiers alike have while in war. Aggressions in war that are not permitted to war are not to be allowed and who have committed them should be punished and looked into for such actions.]]> 2023-03-30 17:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538708263 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538713664 "Just war theorists traditionally argue that, if anyone is to be judged for waging a war of aggression, it’s only the military leaders on the aggressive side..." 

This evidence helps to find who is responsible the most for these acts of aggression when it comes to these war crimes that are happening. The soldiers play a part, but they are following orders that are given to them by their leaders and these leaders know what they are doing and must be held accountable for their horrible job and way of leading these man and women to committing war crimes.]]> 2023-03-30 17:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2538713664 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539833833 Summary: This article is describing the numerous sights and investigations into the war crimes Russia is committing. Crimes of attacking and killing civilians trying to flee and survive but cannot because of them.

A mother and her children killed as they fled Irpin in a humanitarian corridor. Burning apartment blocks. Mass graves. A child dead of dehydration in a city under siege, denied humanitarian aid."

This evidence explains the horrible mistreatment of women and children. They cant flee nor can they be treated like basic human beings who have needs. They are instead treated like soldiers and are dying because of such. Russia has no regard for their wellbeing even as humans and this is evident.]]> 2023-03-31 12:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539836580 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539839893 "“The bottom line is this is medieval warfare in the Ukraine. It’s precisely the sort of warfare that the laws of armed conflict were designed to prevent,” said David Crane, a veteran of numerous international war crime investigations. “The world’s strongmen are watching like crocodiles. … We have to show tyrants around the world that rule of law is stronger than rule of gun.”

This helps to get the point across of how law needs to be seeing winning in this case. These crimes cannot go unchecked and holding Russia and officials accountable is the most important thing right now because justice must prevail. ]]> 2023-03-31 12:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539839893 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539842968 " Possible war crimes that have been reported in Ukraine: widespread destruction of people’s homes, firing on civilians as they evacuate through safe corridors, targeting hospitals, using indiscriminate weapons like cluster bombs in civilian areas, attacks on nuclear power plants, intentionally blocking access to humanitarian aid or basic needs like food and water."

These examples and actions of Russia is seen specifically to be breaking laws that have been established.

This evidence establishes a baseline for just how bad Russia is doing right now. Ukraine has been able to see this much evidence and will be coming after everything Russia has going for itself.]]> 2023-03-31 12:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539847132 maleekc3284 https://padlet.com/maleekc3284/n0evbe4cl7uqrjn/wish/2539852899 Summary: This article deeply tells us what to expect when it comes to Russia being tried for their crimes.

This gives us specifics on when actual trials can begin to prosecute the crimes of Russia.

However, with Russian forces having recently redeployed away from the Kyiv region, that area is considered stable enough for war crimes investigators to be sifting through evidence and interviewing witnesses." 

This evidence breaks down to why they can't prosecute right now because the war is still going on.

And Ukraine is doing just that, with some of the cases dating back to Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea, a region of Ukraine."

This evidence details just how hard Ukraine is going in order to get the justice they want for their people.
