Ukraine submitted a new lawsuit to the European Court of Human Rights against Russia
On June 23, 2022, Ukrainian Minister of Justice, Denys Maliuska, said that the Ministry had submitted a new lawsuit against Russia to the European Court of Human Rights.
In the lawsuit, Ukraine accuses the Russian authorities of violating the European Convention on Human Rights in the conduct of its illegal invasion of the sovereign territory of Ukraine, reports the press office of the Ministry.
The filing made by Ukraine addresses Russia’s egregious human rights violations during the initial phase of the war, from the onset of Russia’s invasion in the early hours of February 24, 2022, until the effective withdrawal of its ground forces from around Kyiv and other cities in northern Ukraine on April 7, 2022 (Russia’s violations in the period thereafter will be addressed by Ukraine in subsequent filings).
