Human rights organization Amnesty International has addressed the invasion of Ukraine.
- “Our worst fears have been realized," said Amnesty International's Secretary General Agnès Callamard said in a statement. "After weeks of escalation, a Russian invasion that is likely to lead to the most horrific consequences for human lives and human rights has begun.”
"Civilian lives, homes and infrastructure must be protected; indiscriminate attacks and the use of prohibited weapons such as cluster munitions must not take place," Callmard said. "We also repeat our call to allow and facilitate immediate access for humanitarian agencies to provide assistance to civilians affected by the hostilities."
- Callamard added, “Amnesty International will be monitoring the situation closely to expose violations of international law by all parties.”
