ICC Prosecutor on Ukraine - Security Council (22 September 2022) | United Nations

Remarks by Mr. Karim Khan, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, on the situation in Ukraine - Security Council, 9135th meeting, High Level Debate.

The ICC Prosecutor, Karim Asad Ahmad Khan, also addressed the Council, informing that the Court is “now at the stage of continuing forensic, objective and impartial, sometimes painstaking work, to grapple with the facts, to separate truth from fiction and to build a picture of what actually happened.”

In May, Khan said, ICC made its largest field deployment ever and has maintained a presence in the country ever since. The Prosecutor also announced that next week further members will be deployed, in relation to allegations emerging from the East of the country.

“Through this work a picture will emerge,” Khan said. “And the picture that I've seen so far is troubling indeed. I have been to Ukraine three times, and I have seen a variety of destruction, of suffering, of harm that fortifies my determination and my previous finding that there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court have been committed.”

Khan then described the bodies he saw behind Saint Agnes Church, in Bucha, the destruction of buildings and schools he witnessed in Borodyanka and the bombings he heard in Kharkiv.

All this, the Prosecutor said, gave “a very somber insight, and a very small insight, into the awful reality that is faced by many of our brothers and sisters and children that are in a war zone.”

The ICC law shall show impartiality in implementing on the leader of France, US and their allies, what they did on Libya and its people.

1:35 "The law is alive, and not in slumber." What a wonderful quote, Sir. ❤

Dear Mr. Khan, what a pleasure to hear a man of your charism inform us of this more than distressing situation (a desolation.)... and to assure us, above all, of our safety. The Tsar would therefore be a usurper?... It becomes so complicated to follow that it would be necessary to do well that we go back to the previous seasons... worthy of a cinematographic interpretation such as "Game of Thrones". That said by the way, you have the stuff to interpret the awesome Lord Varys. Be blessed to save us from this abomination. Amen.🌹🙏

People are at the mercy of their leaders. Those who attack innocent civilians, regardless of their position, need to be accountable for their actions.

3:20 "A painstaking work to grapple with the facts, to separate truth from fiction."

How I pity you to have to stick around to this painful task...
Courage and good work to You and your Colleagues. Our common future depends on You now. Be thanked for it. ❤🙏🌹👋

Very curious about the ICC reaction to Israel war crimes in Palestine. are you blind? Is it only Ukraine that gets attention? Don't be double standard..

[TsarOfRuss]

Now go to Syria and Libya and tell us what atrocities NATO has committed there

This guy reminds me of various minority groups being used as mercenaries for various tasks to further the aggression of the British Empire.

"The Bucha-bodies were not fake." Ok, so what were they? Wherefrom, and what exactly caused their death several days after the Russians had left the city? And what was the announced official Ukrainian Bucha "cleaning up"-action announced with the curfew there? Was it not the case as previously suggested that the majority of the bodies there were killed with shrapnel from artillery?

Finally!! The law on display. All we need is the ICC Treaty now!!

Ukr has never been self-sufficient to win an invasion to gain territory, they were also colonized by a child, the principality of Lithuania for hundreds of years, they were independent as they are today under the patronage of the people. Russia.
Odessa and 40% Ukr, is the land of the Tsar taken from the Mongols during the 100 years of the Russian-Turkish war + the British and French alliance. But since demanding separation, they have returned to their inherent selves.
Why the more chaotic the world, the less power the UN has, the more American companies in energy, industry, biology, weapons ... will benefit?
