Statement CFBO for the 2021 UNODC Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
International webinar on conflict related sexual violence in Ukraine
Thursday, November 24, 6:00 PM Vienna Time
Within the Framework of the support to the Prosecutor General of the Ukraine, the Coalition of Faith Based Organisations, the Sigmund Freud University, the Vienna Forum for Human Rights and the International Assocation for the Advancement of Innovative Solutions to Global Challenges, organise an International webinar to discuss conflict related sexual violence in the Ukraine. This webinar is the third in a series we organised, beginning with an informal consultation in May at the regional Criminal Court in Vienna and an expert meeting in October with the Diplomatic Academcy.
The goal is for participants to exchange information and share their accounts on conflict related sexual crimes committed in Ukraine.
The Organisers hope this event will inspire victims of those hideous crimes to come forward and share their stories and provide a wakeup call to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Upon his mission to Ukraine, the ICC prosecutor described the situation as one big crime scene.
He saw evidence of murder of innocent civilians, murder assault, rape, torture, molestation, corruption, destruction of private homes, theft, bombing of vital infrastructure, schools, hospitals and other vital infrastructure, churches, clinics, denial of medcines and food.
The United Nations’ Secretary General has called for volunteers to assist with humanitarian assistance but also the stretched Ukrainian civil service. One of the most important governmental tasks is to collect evidence for the prosecution of crimes, wittiness testimony, photos, and videos for national and international prosecution.
While some of these acts may be considered war crimes, they are definitely crimes under the Ukrainian criminal code and other jurisdictions.
As the UN Commission of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice begins on May 16, the Coalition of Faith Based Organizations, the United Nations Studies Association and the Academic Council on the United Nations System propose the organization of a webinar at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna involving lawyers and officials, together with journalists and distinguished jurists,
professors, and judges in order to discuss these crimes currently committed in Ukraine, which may be prosecuted regionally and internationally.
