About excited by IC of RF criminal case “of genocide” in the Donbass
Statement of the Investigative Committee of Russia on the opening of a criminal case against the Ukrainian authorities and the Armed Forces of Ukraine on “Armenian-speaking population in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions,” – another element of Russian propaganda, which has nothing in common with a real desire to investigate crimes in the Donbas.
It is the expert of the Polish representative of the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights in Warsaw Lenur Karimov, reports ” Newsru.ua “.
“This is another element that blends into the Russian propaganda policy, carried out this time by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation”, – said Karimov.
He called the unknown Russian participation in a possible investigation of crimes in Ukraine in accordance with the international convention in 1948 “On the prevention of the crime of genocide and punishment for it.” “The Convention provides that in the event of genocide signs in any country an investigation should be carried out on the territory of this country, even from a legal point of view, the application of the Investigative Committee is awkward, because Russia has no relation to the Lugansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine.” – said Polish expert.
He stressed that the statement of the Russian IC, that the Ukrainian government allegedly gave orders to commit genocide against the Russian-speaking residents of Donbass, yet to be proved.
Furthermore, legally illiterate in terms of the convention, according to Karimov, there is a definition in the RF IC statement on “Russian-speaking population.” “What is the Russian-speaking population in general, because the Convention refers to specific groups with particular national, ethnical, racial or religious affiliation I have not heard that there was some national Russian-language group?” – said Karimov.
Polish expert expressed the opinion that the statement of the UK has only a propaganda stage, and not have to rely on the Russian real desire to investigate crimes committed in the Donbas.
Karimov also said that Russia will not apply in this case to international human rights organizations, as a consequence, these bodies can be conducted only at the request of the State where the crime was committed and, therefore, at the request of the Ukrainian authorities.
