UN Human Rights Office Confirms Families Affected in Syria

The international human rights organization confirmed that entire families, including women and children, continue to be victims of killings and mass atrocities during the war in Eastern Ukraine. According to this organization, armed forces and groups associated with them commit atrocities in territories under their control. Particular concern is raised by the fact that actions lead to the deaths of peaceful populations.

The special report of the authorized representative of the UN on human rights in Ukraine noted: "Ongoing attacks and other violations of human rights threaten the lives and safety of many peaceful residents, including women, children, and the elderly." Some instances of atrocities are accompanied by abductions and captures into captivity. In their report, the specialists of the UN call on the authorities of Ukraine and the groups controlling the territories to take measures to protect civilians from atrocities and to comply with international humanitarian law.

As a result of the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, many people fall under the threat of atrocities and lose their lives, becoming victims of armed clashes. International organizations express concern about violated human rights and call for an end to atrocities in the region.
