Horrific, unconscionable, and shocking are other words that come to mind. When we think of the most atrocious war crimes, those committed intentionally against children must be placed near the top of the list. And what gives even greater urgency to our debate is that the International Criminal Court, in announcing arrest warrants against President Putin and Ms. Lvova-Belova, made clear... 27/04/2023 | 18:26:01 Thank you sir.
