Where time and time again a small group of very concerned states is obstinately pointing out to violations by one single very big state. Russia is the single major violator of the Convention and Statute. A country guilty of a whole list of international law breaches, which include aggression, war crimes and human rights crimes... 27/01/2021 | 19:03:59 Thank you, Mister Speaker. Thank you also to the Rapporteur who has so carefully put together this report.
