Abhijit Bhattacharyya | Can Russians be tried for ‘war crimes’ in Ukraine?

Deccan Chronicle  

Amid the growing clamour in many countries, among politicians, opinion leaders and the media, that Russian President Putin and his “colluders” be put on trial before an international forum as “war criminals” who are responsible for “heinous crimes” against humanity in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, came the news earlier this week that the International Criminal Court based at The Hague was planning to open two war crimes cases against “several people” -- the first would be over Russia’s alleged abduction of Ukrainian children and second on Russia’s “unrelentingly” targeting civilian infrastructure, including water supplies and gas tanks. The facts: late 2013 Ukraine saw a series protests across the country over the Kyiv government’s move to sign an “association agreement” with the European Union -- meant to fast-track Ukraine’s entry into this exclusive Western club, with an avowed goal of “eastern expansion”. That said, however, the West’s pre-2013-2014 plan of action also needs scrutiny because that stands as testimony to the “grand design” of the US and Europe to curb the role of Moscow in international affairs. From the 1990s, as the West had it easy, Russia steadfastly opposed Nato’s eastward expansion amid Yugoslavia’s destruction, the crises of Pristina and Kosovo and the unilateral US withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
