Russian forces in Ukraine have shown “an utter disregard for international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians”, Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said

“In all situations where war crimes may have been committed, we must ensure that timely, credible investigations are undertaken; that evidence is rigorously documented; and that witnesses, victims and survivors are supported.

Asked by The Irish Times whether any war crimes trials should involve Russian military personnel who carried out atrocities or politicians who ordered them to invade Ukraine, Mr Coveney said: “That is a matter for the International Criminal Court and its prosecutor. As they put the evidence base together to hear trials then I think it will become self-evident who is responsible for making decisions and who is responsible for actually committing those crimes should they be determined as so.

This guy thinks what he thinks means something to the rest of the world 😮

So have the Israelis, guessing the Palastinians are the wrong colour?

A combined military/police close protection detail would've been double the protection to mind the Minister and mind the Minister's minders on their recent visit to Kiev/Bucha, Ukraine. It didn't have to be one or the other. It could e been both.

Also, Interfax-Ukraine reports that the animal carers an a zoo in Kharkiv were murdered by Russians. There bodies were discovered in a back room. This is akin to the SS and the darkest times if WWII

This would be the International Criminal Court that Coveney's beloved United States doesn't recognise

Is Simon calling for the protection of Julian, who is facing 175yrs in a supermax prison for revealing war crimes.

And the ukranians themselves shelled civilians for 8 years, has coveney anything to say about that? Or is he just a hypocrite?
