Resolution on committing war crimes crimes against humanity and human rights violations by Russia in Ukraine

Resolution
of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland
of 23 March 2022
on committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and human rights violations
by Russia in Ukraine
The Sejm of the Republic of Poland strongly condemns the acts of constant violence, war
crimes, crimes against humanity, acts of genocide, systemic violations of human rights and
other criminal offenses against international law committed on the territory of sovereign
Ukraine by the Russian Federation armed forces, together with its allies, at the behest of
military commanders being under the direct authority of President Vladimir Putin.
The Sejm of the Republic of Poland calls on all states that recognize the sovereignty,
territorial integrity and right to self-determination by Ukraine to support, using all available
means, the initiation and conduct of proceedings before the International Court of Justice and
the International Criminal Court, and to use their powers in all international organizations of
which they are members, to hold Vladimir Putin, members of the Russian Security Council
and commanders of the Russian Federation armed forces responsible for directing and
committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, acts of genocide and systemic human rights
violations on the territory of sovereign Ukraine. The publicly available evidence justifies the
recognition of Vladimir Putin, already today, by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland and by
the international community as a war criminal.
The Sejm of the Republic of Poland appeals to the parliaments of democratic countries around
the world and to the European Parliament to recognise Vladimir Putin, the members of the
Russian Security Council and the commanders of the Russian Federation armed forces as the
persons directly responsible for these acts and to subject them to the most far-reaching
sanctions possible.
The Sejm of the Republic of Poland expresses its unwavering solidarity with the free
Ukrainian people and the democratic state of Ukraine.
