Scientific conferences

On December 2. 2022, the educational and scientific legal institute named after Vasyl Stefanyk held a scientific and practical conference “Russian war crimes – from documentation to punishment”.

Scientists from other regions of Ukraine, including international partners from Poland and the Czech Republic, also joined her via video link.

As Serhii Adamovych, doctor of historical sciences, professor, head of the public organization “Progressive Group of Frankivites” told, the purpose of the conference is to collect, record the war crimes of the occupiers against Ukraine and bring them to justice.

“It’s about the fact that we don’t know exactly when the war will end. The crimes committed by Russia against the population of Ukraine have no analogues in the history of crimes. And we are working on documenting the evidence base for the international court, because criminals must be punished,” Adamovych is convinced.

According to him, 330 protocols have now been drawn up, testimonies have been collected from witnesses by the Center for Documentation and Research of War Crimes of the Educational and Scientific Institute named after V. Stefanyka.

Students who worked with internally displaced persons were also involved in the collection of testimonies.

“In order to hold Russia accountable, there must be evidence. We are still actively working on this. We have also involved international partners who have experience in the field of international legislation on the recording of crimes,” the scientist notes.
