Last December, the International Criminal Court completed the preliminary investigation and now its field offices can appear in Ukraine.

Oleksandra Matviychuk, chair of the board of directors of the Center for Civil Liberties, candidate for the post of member of the United Nations Committee against Torture, said this on the channel Dom TV, reports Ukrinform.

According to Matviychuk, there are now several cases initiated by Ukraine, including human rights violations in Russian-occupied Crimea.

“Ukraine is currently working in several areas. There are several state cases to be considered by the ECHR. Some of these cases concern human rights violations in Crimea. Ukraine has also lodged a complaint with the United Nations International Court of Justice for violations of two conventions: on racial and ethnic discrimination and the financing of terrorism, ”the human rights activist stressed.

As reported, the International Criminal Court completed the preliminary investigation stage last December, and now its field offices may appear in Ukraine. The offices will take care of detecting and documenting the facts, as well as bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said that she will ask the judges for permission to launch a full-fledged investigation. We can expect the field offices of the International Criminal Court to open soon in Ukraine and that international investigators are starting to work: collecting evidence, questioning people, issuing arrest warrants, “Matviychuk said.
