TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

RUSSIA: STOP YOUR WAR ON UKRAINE

The Russian military’s latest attacks on Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and cities across Ukraine show a horrifying escalation of aggression against Ukrainian civilians.

For over eight months, Russian forces have launched strikes hitting preschools and playgrounds, residential areas, and civilian infrastructure with complete disregard for human life. Their invasion is a violation of the United Nations Charter, and an act of aggression that is a crime under international law.

Amnesty has identified two people as key targets to apply pressure on: the Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov, and Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation General Sergey Kuzhugetovich Shoigu.

Take action: Urge the Russian government to immediately stop its war of aggression on Ukraine, and stop attacking civilians.

To Minister Shoigu and Ambassador Antonov,

I am writing to call on you to respect international law, protect civilians, and stop the Russian government’s war on Ukraine. 
 
Since the Russian invasion began on February 24, Amnesty International has been documenting the escalation in violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, including the killing and injuring of civilians resulting from indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas and infrastructure.

Strikes on protected objects such as hospitals and schools, the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects, such as ballistic missiles and artillery in civilian areas, and the use of banned indiscriminate weapons such as cluster bombs, may constitute war crimes. All perpetrators must be held to account.

The Russian Federation is acting in clear breach of its obligations under international law. Its actions are blatantly against the rules and principles on which the UN was founded. And it is abusing its position as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to shield itself from accountability.

The world is watching your actions. I urge you to respect international law, protect civilians and stop the war against  Ukraine. The continuation of the use of ballistic missiles, cluster munitions, and other inaccurate explosive weapons causing civilian deaths and injuries is inexcusable.

Please – think of the lives lost. Please think of the many millions of lives at stake –including families and children. Please, act swiftly to stop these attacks.

Sincerely,
