How to catch a war criminal: Investigators are building a case against Putin in Ukraine's killing fields

ABC  

It is a sleepy rural scene: a pale grey sky hangs low over a grassy slope, bordered by the bare branches of winter trees. In early March, barely a week after Russia’s military entered Ukrainian territory, 39 member countries of the 123-strong International Criminal Court supported chief prosecutor Karim Khan’s call to investigate potential war crimes in Ukraine. “My first thought was that I can’t believe this is happening again,” says Smith, who has spent 25 years prosecuting the perpetrators of some of recent history’s most notorious war crimes. It is “depressing” watching another war unfold with emerging evidence of war crimes mounting, says Smith, who has also undertaken a stint researching war crimes in East Timor. “You’ve got to figure out when they were killed, how they were killed and what Russian units can be linked to that killing, what individuals and what part of that unit was involved and what their intent was.” The International Criminal Court in The Hague was set up to punish the gravest international crimes, including war crimes and genocide.
