published 20.08.2008 Statement of Moscow Helsinki Group on War Conflict in South Ossetia and Georgia (Georgia) Russia and Georgia military involvement for quite short period of time had led to multiple victims among population and disastrous destructions on the territory of South Ossetia and Georgia. In these war crimes the guilt is owned to both sides – Georgia that had started military actions on South Ossetia territory, and Russia that had used such circumstances to invade Georgian territory. Both sides also guilty in nonselective use of fire, in use of heavy-weight ground arms and aviation in places of civilian population location, in that thousands inhabitants of South Ossetia and Georgia had become refugees. Neither one, nor the other side made no effective attempts for protection of local people living in the war conflict zone, supplied no safe evacuation from this territory. Consequently, both Russia and Georgia had lost the moral right to peacemaking in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It is international interference that needed for the conflict to be resolved. Russia by acting, not in words, should pullout troops from Georgia. Russia and Georgia should pullout their troops from South Ossetia and Abkhazia, in both regions the armed forces should be replaced by the presence of peacemaking units of the UN. in detail »» |

published 12.08.2008 Statement of the Russian participants IN YHRM on the armed conflict between Russia and GeorgiaNetwork News (No Region) For a few days already Russia is at war. A war which is going on on our behalf, but in breach both of the UN mandate and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. A war called a “peacemaking operation”, but leading to the death of civilians. A war that every new day is motivated with more and more lies and seeds more and more hatred. A war which is accompanied with inaction of the world’s intergovernmental organizations and mutual accusations of double standards. in detail »» |
