The paper accusing Ukraine of violating humanitarian law will be examined by international specialists to determine “what went wrong.”
Independent specialists will examine the shocking revelation Following criticism from Kiev, Amnesty International released a report accusing the Ukrainian armed forces of breaking humanitarian law in an effort to determine “what went wrong” during the document’s creation.
The human rights organization stated in a statement issued by its German branch on Friday that an investigation of the report had been “started at the international level.” The research will look at how the report was put together and how it was examined from a legal and political perspective.

“We want to understand what exactly went wrong and why, in order to learn a lesson and improve our work in the field of human rights,” the organization said.
Amnesty International noted that “its findings were not conveyed with the delicacy and accuracy” that are expected from the organization. It also stated that its International Secretariat did not react to criticism from the international community in the correct manner.
The report, the watchdog said, also “did not pay due attention to Russian aggression in violation of international law,” adding that Amnesty condemns Moscow’s military campaign in Ukraine.
In a report published on August 4, Amnesty charged Kiev with “a blatant breach of international humanitarian law,” claiming it was endangering civilian lives by stationing military equipment near to residential areas and infrastructure.
Amnesty International reported that it discovered evidence of recent or past military action in 22 of the 29 schools it visited between April and July. They saw Ukrainian soldiers utilizing hospitals as bases in five different places. The organisation said that it was “not aware” of any efforts made by Ukraine to remove citizens from the troubled areas.
But the watchdog pointed out that there were no Ukrainian troops in certain places where it discovered that Russian forces had purportedly struck residential areas, coming to the conclusion that Ukraine’s illegal military use of civilian locations “in no way justifies indiscriminate Russian airstrikes.”
Amnesty International apologized for its report after receiving criticism from Kiev, with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky accusing the organization of supporting “terrorists.” The organization said it “deeply regrets the distress and anger that our press release on the Ukrainian military’s fighting tactics has caused,” adding that “we fully stand by our findings.”
