dc.description.abstract | The Russo-Ukrainian War is one of the largest – and probably the most intensive – conflicts of the last several decades. Fought between large, regular, and well-equipped forces of two sides, it naturally provides an extremely wide scope of materials for analysis as to the functioning of ius in bello.At the current stage, however, the evidence is often piecemeal and unclear, particularly taking into consideration the lack of access to documents and to Russian materials. While there is a significant body of evidence to indicate serious violations of humanitarian law, including indiscriminate or deliberate attacks on civilian targets, a detailed analysis requires taking into consideration a broader scope of circumstances which at this point are unclear. One of areas where we have strong evidence, if based on a sample, is the issue of the treatment of the prisoners of war. In general, the initial information seems to indicate widespread and systematic violations of humanitarian law during the conflict. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Wojna Rosyjsko-Ukraińska jest jednym z największych – i potencjalnie najintensywniejszym konfliktem ostatnich kilku dekad. Toczona pomiędzy dużymi, regularnymi i dobrze wyposażonymi siłami dwóch stron w naturalny sposób dostarcza niezwykle szerokiego materiału dotyczącego stosowania przepisów ius in bello.Na aktualnym etapie materiał dowodowy w tym obszarze często jest jednak wycinkowy i niepewny, w szczególności w związku z brakiem dostępu do dokumentów oraz do materiałów po stronie rosyjskiej. O ile istnieją silne przesłanki do przyjęcia że w wielu przypadkach mamy do czynienia z działaniami prowadzonymi w sposób nierozróżniający czy z celowymi atakami na cywilów, dokładna analizy tego stanu rzeczy wymaga uwzględnienia szerszego zakres okoliczności, które w tym momencie są niepewne. Jednym z obszarów w których dane są stosunkowo konkluzywne, choć oparte o badania próbki, jest kwestia traktowania jeńców wojennych. Wstępne informacje sugerują jednak na szeroki i systematyczny charakter naruszeń prawa humanitarnego w toku konfliktu. | pl |
