'Crimes against humanity': Ukraine on beheading video of prisoner in Russia

India Today  

The killing of a Ukrainian prisoner of war on video was a “grave breach of the Geneva Conventions” and a “war crime”, Ukraine said, after a video online purportedly showed Russian soldiers filming themselves beheading a Ukrainian captive with a knife. “The killing of a Ukrainian prisoner of war captured on video is a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions and is a war crime in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Ukraine said this is “not the first instance of the Russian army treating Ukrainian prisoners inhumanely”. We call on the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to immediately investigate yet another atrocity of the Russian military in the context of the investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by citizens of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine,” the statement said.
