Ukraine 5 AM Coalition devoted to documenting war crimes is launched in Ukraine. Our purpose is to protect the victims of Russian armed aggression in Ukraine and to bring to justice the top leadership of the Russian Federation, as well as the direct perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, human rights activists have been recording war crimes, crimes against humanity, and grave human rights violations. These include (but not limited to) killing and wounding civilians, destroying civilian buildings, cultural sites, looting, using civilians as a human shield, conscripting persons from Crimea and Donbas into the occupier’s army, obstructing peaceful assemblies, and abducting pro-Ukrainian activists.
Ukraine 5 AM Coalition has already started collecting and organizing such information and providing legal protection to victims. The members of the coalition have relevant professional experience and expertise, as they have already been documenting grave crimes since the beginning of the Russian aggression in the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014, followed by hundreds submissions to international courts.
The coalition is formed by 16 Ukrainian human rights organizations:
We focus our work on several areas:
Human rights activists have also begun training volunteers and journalists to document eyewitness testimony. We urge witnesses to crimes to report this to the email: [email protected].
UHHRU takes part in the Coalition in the framework of the Human Rights in Action Program implemented by the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union.
