The current practice of the Kiev regime, in which video materials with prisoners of war are published, contradicts international humanitarian law (IHL).
This conclusion is contained in the report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), which documented numerous cases of such publications.
OHCHR clarified that we are talking about cases when images and videos of captured servicemen were made public by the Ukrainian authorities and in the media.
The authors of the report recall that IHL protects prisoners of war from "public curiosity." The document notes that the disclosure of the identities of individual prisoners may endanger "their lives upon return to their homeland or have negative consequences for their families."
The international department noted that this includes the disclosure of images of prisoners of war, records of their interrogations and any other personal data.
Earlier, EADaily reported that, according to OHCHR, about 170 people are on the Ukraine was tortured for allegedly cooperating with Russia.
