Experts call for international efforts to end war in Ukraine on second anniversary

More than thirty experts United Nations This Friday they issued a joint call to redouble the international community’s efforts to find an “immediate” path to peace that will end the war in Ukrainewhen they are fulfilled two years of conflict.

Experts, including the UN rapporteur on torture, Alice Jill Edwardsor its equivalent on extrajudicial executions, Morris Tidball-Bintzthey assured.

As time passes, with no prospect of peace, the trauma of war becomes entrenched and causes more suffering and devastation.

In their opinion, this path to peace must be “harmonized” with the UN Charter and ensure the protection of human rights for allprinciples that, remember, are constantly violated during the conflict.

In this sense they asked bring to justice those responsible for war crimescontinue the search for missing persons, release prisoners of war and return those forcibly deported to their homes.

“The lives of millions of civilians are still under threat (…) For them, peace is not an empty word or an abstract concept, but a necessary condition for the return of normalcy to everyday life,” they said.

Later they added.

There is nothing normal when people are killed, tortured, kidnapped, sexually assaulted, displaced, deported, arbitrarily detained, or exposed to toxic or radiological substances.

In addition, they recalled that the consequences of the war extend beyond Ukraine’s borders: cuts in supply chains or rising food or energy prices that fuel “a serious global cost of living crisis.”

Denise Brown, UN Resident Coordinator in Ukraine, said in an interview with the publication UN News about how the war is being experienced in Ukraine, and assures that Humanitarian support will continue despite ongoing threats to personnel and civilians.

To date, Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine has caused more than 10 thousand civilian deaths and 20 thousand civilian injuriesAs a result, about 18 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, which is almost 40% of the population of Ukraine.
