The findings by the United Nations experts are the latest allegations of war crimes against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.

Russian troops have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, carried out a “large number” of executions and committed other war crimes, according to a United Nations investigation by legal experts.

Set up by the U.N. to probe the conduct of the war, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reported its chilling findings Friday in Geneva, describing a long list of abuses and atrocities in four regions.

“Based on the evidence gathered by the commission, it has concluded that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine,” Erik Mose, the chairman of the three-member commission, told the U.N. Human Rights Council.

      We are becoming more aware of our flaws and evils. Which is a good step forwards.

      We are having this conversation is proof of this.

        We have known of our flaws yet this stuff still happens. Humans are an imperfect species with more flaws than good. I always considered ourselves parasites of the earth.

          A sentiment i know all to well and cant honestly disagree with. I do however consider one addition and that is that over time we have improved in many ways and many people like myself keep searching for ways to improve ourselves and those around us even further.

          “Changing the world” (or human society) is a task so immense one can not reasonably experience that is need while also expecting to still be alive to see the fruits of that intention.

          I dont believe i will ever live in a world Free of human evil, but i also dont believe humanity will disappear without some mass extinction event. Now there is a good chance a mass extinction will happen but it may also not while humanity carries on and that will last quite alot longer.

          As i am a parent this leaves me with 3 choices

          • accept the evils and teach my kids this is normal and the world they will live in.

          • not accepting the evils and try to improve things any way i can, teach my kids to pass it forward till eventually we have humans that truly are more good then bad.

          • family activity introductions to the church of euthanasia. (Nope, been close there myself, wont go back, wont decide that for my kids either)
