In this episode of Policy Voices, host Catarina Vila Nova is joined by Oleksandra Matviichuk, an Ukrainian human rights lawyer. She heads the Center for Civil Liberties which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year Russia started the large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, Matviichuk's organization has documented more than 80 thousand war crimes committed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine. But as she reminds us in this conversation, the war started much before 2022. They discuss the special tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine which will allow for the prosecution of senior Russian officials for planning and coordinating the full-scale invasion in 2022 and fills a void created by the International Criminal Court.

++ Diese Folge ist Teil des 'Women in International Law' Symposiums auf dem Völkerrechtsblog und wurde deshalb auf Englisch produziert. ++Women play diverse and complex roles in armed conflicts – whether as combatants, peacebuilders, community organizers, or as those directly impacted by war, including through gender-based violence. Yet, international law has long struggled to fully acknowledge their agency and provide meaningful protections.In this episode, Polina Kulish and Rishiti Choudaha sit down with Kateryna Demerza and Vladyslava Vorobiova from Vitsche e.V., a Berlin-based NGO that amplifies Ukrainian voices in Europe. Together, they discuss the realities of women's resistance in wartime contexts, feminist activism's role in challenging silences of international law, and the broader struggles against disinformation.Before the interview, Céline Chausse introduces the discussion by reflecting on the ‘Women in International Law' symposium and the importance of centering women's voices in conversations about conflict and justice. Sissy Katsoni then provides a legal overview, setting the stage with key facts and frameworks on how international humanitarian and human rights law seek to protect women in conflict – and where these frameworks continue to fall short.With armed conflicts around the world continuing to impact millions of women, this discussion provides a timely reflection on solidarity, activism, and the future of feminist engagement in international law.This special episode is part of the ‘Women in International Law' symposium and was therefore produced in English.Have thoughts to share?

Le monde fait face aujourd'hui à un certain désordre international, dans lequel les intérêts concurrentiels des États l'emportent sur le respect du droit et de valeurs fondamentales. Ce désordre bouleverse le système international né au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, basé sur une volonté commune du « plus jamais ça » et qui a fait émerger un cadre juridique international. Aujourd'hui, ce consensus est remis en cause et laisse place à l'émergence de visions et de pôles juridiques compétitifs. La norme semble devenir relative sous la pression d'États avançant leurs propres intérêts au détriment du respect de valeurs (démocratie, état de droit, dignité humaine) que l'on pensait intangibles. Dans ce contexte de crise qui interroge sur la place du droit et des grandes juridictions internationale, quel enjeu la justice internationale représente-t-elle pour l'Ukraine ? Comment la société civile ukrainienne se mobilise-t-elle, sur le terrain, pour y répondre ? Au-delà, comment le système juridique européen répond-il au désordre international ?

Oleksandra Matviichuk is one of the leading lawyers and human rights advocates pushing for accountability for grave crimes committed during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In 2007, Oleksandra founded the Center for Civil Liberties, which she still leads. In 2022, it became the first Ukrainian organization to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

They took to the Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti) to express their protest against pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych's refusal to sign the association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. At the same time, people in different cities of Ukraine gathered every day and organized events in support of European integration. On the night of November 29-30, about 400 activists, mostly students, remained on the streets of Kyiv. Armed fighters of the former police unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine called “Berkut” forced people out of the square. They used explosive packages, beating people with batons and stomping them with their feet. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the center of Kyiv on December 1, 2013, to protest the forceful dispersal of peaceful protesters. Due to the European integration slogans, the events were called Euromaidan. This turned into a struggle for the renewal of the state system, the defense of democratic ideas, and the refusal to submit to the pro-Russian regime. The struggle became known as the Revolution of Dignity. Protesters occupied the building of the Kyiv City State Administration (KMDA) and the House of Trade Unions, where the Headquarters of the National Resistance were located. Independence Square and nearby streets were filled with protesters. Euromaidan activists began to set up tent cities, surrounded by barricades and several roadblocks. On December 8, 2013, the “March of Millions” took place in Kyiv, a public event with over a million participants. Activists decided to block the Presidential Administration and Government buildings. On the night of December 10-11, “Berkut” and units of internal forces launched an assault to disperse peaceful protesters. The impetus for the escalation of the confrontation was the adoption of “dictatorship laws” by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on January 16, 2014. They limited the rights of citizens and expanded the powers of special officers to punish participants in protest actions. On January 19, Euromaidan started a move to prepare an open-ended picket of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The march met with units of internal troops and special units of “Berkut” on Hrushevsky Street — clashes began that lasted all night. Armed security forces used stun grenades and rubber bullets, as well as a water cannon, against the demonstrators. Euromaidan activists wore construction helmets, and they threw cobblestones and Molotov cocktails at the police. On January 22, 2014, another illegal decision was made to extend the powers of the security forces that acted against Euromaidan participants. They were allowed to use light noise and smoke grenades delivered from the Russian Federation. On this day, for the first time during the Revolution of Dignity, two activists – Armenian Serhii Nigoyan and Belarusian Mykhailo Zhiznevskyi – died from gunshot wounds on Hrushevsky Street in Kyiv. Hundreds were injured by rubber bullets, debris, and chemical burns. At the end of January, the uprising spread to other regions of Ukraine. Protesters occupied administrative buildings, and they removed pro-Russian heads of state administrations from their positions. On February 18, 2014, activists marched to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, where deputies were supposed to consider changes to the Constitution of Ukraine. Activists called on the parliament to return the Constitution of 2004, according to which the political system of Ukraine was supposed to become parliamentary-presidential again, which reduced the possibilities for usurpation of power. The peaceful offensive turned into mass clashes between the Euromaidan and security forces. The Berkut police special unit dispersed the demonstrators on the approaches to the parliament and began an assault on the Maidan. On this day, more than 20 Euromaidans were killed with firearms. The events of February 20, 2014, on Instytutska Street in Kyiv entered the modern history of Ukraine as “Bloody Thursday”. On this day, snipers killed 48 Euromaidans. On the same day in 2014, Russia began the occupation of Crimea, and in the spring they invaded Eastern Ukraine. Eight years later, in 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion. source

In this week's episode, produced in collaboration with the Associated Press, reporters on the front lines take us inside Russia's invasion of Ukraine and share never-before-heard recordings of Russian soldiers.  The day President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion, Feb. 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a brutal assault on the strategic port city of Mariupol. That same day, a team of AP reporters arrived in the city. Vasilisa Stepanenko, Evgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov kept their cameras and tape recorders rolling throughout the onslaught. Together, they captured some of the defining images of the war in Ukraine. Stepanenko and Maloletka talk with guest host Michael Montgomery about risking their lives to document blasted buildings, enormous bomb craters and the daily life of traumatized civilians. As Russian troops advanced on Mariupol, the journalists managed to escape with hours of their own material and recordings from the body camera of a noted Ukrainian medic, Yuliia Paievska. The powerful footage went viral and showed the world the brutalities of the war, as well as remarkable acts of courage by journalists, doctors and ordinary citizens.   Next, we listen to audio that's never been publicly shared before: phone calls Russian soldiers made during the first weeks of the invasion, secretly recorded by the Ukrainian government.

But, unfortunately, we talked about the war, about the Russian full-scale invasion that has already been ongoing for two years. "This is wishful thinking that Putin will stop. Putin openly talked about his goal in numerous interviews. He said there is no Ukrainian nation, and that we are the same people as Russians, which means through this genocidal policy Ukraine has to be occupied and people in Ukraine have to be reeducated as Russians or killed and that is why we have no other choice. If we stop fighting, there will be no more of us," said Oleksanda to me. Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi!

Featuring our esteemed guests, Oleksandra  Matviichuk, a human rights war crimes investigator, and Richard Gowan from the International Crisis Group, we shed light on the importance of shifting the narrative from 'helping Ukraine not to fail' to 'helping Ukraine win fast'.

She underscores the urgency for an autonomous judiciary and advocates for a special tribunal to bring Vladimir Putin to justice. And our discussion also navigates the treacherous waters of power politics within the United Nations Security Council. Richard offers a unique lens to understand the predicaments the UN faces. We also examine the pressing need for UN reform, and the legitimacy of Russia's claim to the Soviet seat. Join us as we explore the broader implications of the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the global stage, Russia's enduring impunity, and the desperate need to shatter this cycle. This conversation is certain to provoke thought and foster a deeper understanding of the predicament at hand.

Oleksandra Matviichuk is a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. She is a human rights lawyer who leads the Center for Civil Liberties, a Ukrainian human rights organization.   Oleksandra Matviichuk has been systematically documenting Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity since 2014, when Russia first annexed parts of Ukraine. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, her work has intensified and includes advocating for ways to bring perpetrators to justice. We kick off discussing her work prior to the 2014 annexations and 2022 Russian invasion and then have a powerful conversation about reconciling her values as a human rights lawyer and the desperate need for a swift Ukrainian military victory against Russia.   I caught up with Oleksandra Matviichuk at the Aspen Security Forum, where we recorded our conversation live.  Please visit https://www.globaldispatches.org/ to get our free newsletter and learn more about our work.

In this week's episode, produced in collaboration with the Associated Press, reporters on the front lines take us inside Russia's invasion of Ukraine and share never-before-heard recordings of Russian soldiers.  The day President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion, Feb. 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a brutal assault on the strategic port city of Mariupol. That same day, a team of AP reporters arrived in the city. Vasilisa Stepanenko, Evgeniy Maloletka and Mstyslav Chernov kept their cameras and tape recorders rolling throughout the onslaught. Together, they captured some of the defining images of the war in Ukraine. Stepanenko and Maloletka talk with guest host Michael Montgomery about risking their lives to document blasted buildings, burned-out cars, enormous bomb craters and the daily life of traumatized civilians. As Russian troops advanced on Mariupol, the journalists managed to escape with hours of their own material and recordings from the body camera of a noted Ukrainian medic, Yuliia Paievska. The powerful footage went viral and showed the world the shocking brutalities of the war, as well as remarkable acts of courage by journalists, doctors and ordinary citizens.   Next, we listen to audio that's never been publicly shared before: phone calls Russian soldiers made during the first weeks of the invasion, secretly recorded by the Ukrainian government. AP reporter Erika Kinetz obtained more than 2,000 of these calls. Using social media and other tools, she explores the lives of two soldiers whose calls home capture intimate moments with friends and family. The intercepted calls reveal the fear-mongering and patriotism that led some of the men to go from living regular lives as husbands, sons and fathers to talking about killing civilians.  In Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Russian soldiers left streets strewn with the bodies of civilians killed during their brief occupation. Kinetz shares her experiences visiting Bucha and speaking with survivors soon after Russian troops retreated. In the secret intercepts, Russian soldiers tell their families about being ordered to take no prisoners and speak of “cleansing operations.” One soldier tells his mother: “We don't imprison them. We kill them all.”  Will Russian soldiers and political leaders be prosecuted for war crimes? Montgomery talks with Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer who received a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.

Oleksandra Vyacheslavivna Matviichuk heads the Ukrainian non-profit organization: The Center for Civil Liberties. She describes their work since the beginning of Russian aggression in 2014, the 18,000 human rights violations and atrocities documented in Ukraine so far, and their goal, together with a wide network of Ukrainian and international organizations and volunteers, of documenting every individual case in the country. She expresses a need to confront and bring to justice Russian terror inflicted deliberately on civilians to gain submission, a military tactic that they have recently used with impunity, in various countries. Matviichuk frames the war in Ukraine  as a struggle over democracy or authoritarianism, and calls for the restoration of civil society and justice, pointing out the problem of processing so many cases of human rights violations. She describes how she is seeking to establish an international tribunal of crimes against humanity to bring justice for Ukrainians and prevent future wars of terror in the region. Trigger warning: this program addresses topics of extreme violence, torture, kidnap, murder, and rape. Oleksandra Matviichuk earned her law degree from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and became the first woman to participate in the Ukrainian Emerging Leaders Program of Stanford University.  In 2007, Matviichuk was awarded the Vasyl Stus Prize for 'outstanding achievements, and in  2015, she became a laurate of the Norwegian 'Lindebrække prize for democracy and human rights' and in  2016, 16 delegations to the OSCE recognized Matviychuk with their first Democracy Defender Award for 'Exclusive contribution to promoting democracy and human rights'. The U.S. Embassy to Ukraine recognized Matviichuk as Ukraine's Woman of Courage 2017 for 'her constant and courageous dedication in defending rights of Ukrainian people'. In 2021, Matviichuk was nominated to the United Nations Committee Against Torture and made history as Ukraine's first female candidate to the UN Treaty Body. She ran on a platform to limit violence against women and conflict. Since the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, she has focused on documentation and prosecution of war crimes. She met with Vice President of the United States Joe Biden in 2014, and advocated for more support to help end the Russian war against Ukraine.
