The United Nations Office for Human Rights sees “mounting evidence” of war crimes in Ukraine, where “the Russian armed forces have indiscriminately bombed populated areas, killing civilians and destroying hospitals, schools” and other non-military infrastructure.
In the eight weeks of conflict “international humanitarian law has not only been ignored but totally abandoned,” said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Chilean Michelle Bachelet.

The Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has documented the deaths of at least 2,345 civilians and 2,919 wounded during the war, although Bachelet has stressed that the real number of victims “could increase much more when the horrors come to light in areas of intense confrontation, such as Mariúpol”.
“The scale of the summary executions of civilians in areas previously occupied by Russian forces is becoming known,” adds the former Chilean president, who has called for efforts to preserve the evidence of these crimes, the dignified treatment of the mortal remains and psychological help for survivors. and their relatives.
