To stop Russia's impunity
"Judicial" scenery to conduct an indicative court over Mariupol's defenders, and in particular Azovstal. In this way, Russia again violates its arrangements - this time with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN, which promised to further exchange prisoners of war, who were perceived by the defenders and all Ukrainian society as guarantees. In violation of Russia and the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which guarantee the rights of prisoners of war.
The legal void of the planned court is obvious. Yes, we urge you to raise a wave of protests around the world and prevent such a "tribunal", which is completely contrary to generally recognized international laws on the treatment of prisoners of war. We ask you to protect these specific people who have expressed miracles of heroism and endurance, and prevent their mental and physical destruction.
Remember that Russia has already destroyed more than half a hundred prisoners of war from Mariupol and Azovstal, undermining them on July 28 in a prison in Olenivka - and this crime supplemented all the previous ones who remained unpunished. Russia not only put itself beyond human civilization, but also threatens its existence if international institutions come into any agreements with the Russian authorities, they should be aware that they are corresponding to these agreements.
It is not only possible to spread your hands and sign in your own powerless. During the Russian War in Ukraine, the Moscow authorities have so often humiliated international institutions and individual Western politicians that in the world should finally mention the concept of honor. We know that Russian propaganda managed to attach to the Azov fighters the neo -Nazis shortcut.
However, in the eyes of the Ukrainian people, these are patriots who at the highest level of sacrifice fulfilled their military duty and made their weapons only after they were guaranteed life by the international community. To equate their self -sacrifice to "Nazism" is a pathetic attempt of Kremlin propagandists to invent a "likely" basis for war with Ukraine, which, in turn, is criminal.
Unfortunately, this neonacist label has become a convenient "screen" for some politicians in the world, which is easy to hide their inaction. We offer everyone who worries the ideological posture of "Azov", reject bias and look at their specific actions. And compare them with the actions of the Russian authorities and Russian war criminals, against which the crimes of the Nazis of World War II are pale.
Why are they not neglected to lend their hand and even agree with them, helping them "keep their face"?! The next crime prepared by the Russian authorities in Mariupol is only a vivid stroke in the wider picture of that moral catastrophe in which the Russian people were in the will of their leadership. We agree with Estonia Prime Minister Kaya Callas that "to stop the Kremlin's military machine and bring military criminals to justice, we need to understand the roots of Russian imperialism.
" And we are grateful to the high representatives of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania, who have signed a joint appeal to the European Union, in which they actually recognize that the current military crimes of Russia in Ukraine are rooted in the unconsciousness of the communist regime crimes that are so proud of real neo -Nazis. We also appeal to anyone who tries to save the remains of the international security system.
Isn't it obvious that a broken pitcher will not succeed? Before the cynical impunity of Russia, paralyzed, all the institutions, which were intended to guarantee peace and safety in the world: UN, including its Security Council, the OSCE, the Red Cross, etc. , are paralyzed. And the more in the world they try to appease Russia, seeking to avoid the nuclear phase of the Third World War, the more corrupted the aggressor and this war is approaching.
It is time to realize that it is necessary to immediately create the world space of understanding and interaction to start forming a new security system. Otherwise, the Kremlin will continue to mock international law, absorbing its impunity, as is planned for the coming days in Mariupol. Russia not only put itself beyond human civilization, but also threatens the existence of this civilization. Therefore, it should be held accountable right now until it has done irreparable.
