Bill > SRes111

This resolution condemns the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and Russian government officials for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Ukraine. The resolution is based on two key findings: first, a Department of State determination on February 18, 2023, that Russian military forces and government officials have committed crimes against humanity and war crimes in Ukraine, and second, a September 23, 2022 report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine which also concluded that war crimes were committed by Russian forces. The resolution formally expresses the Senate's strong condemnation of these actions, highlighting the serious nature of the alleged violations of international law during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. By passing such a resolution, the Senate is making an official statement of moral and political censure against the Russian military and government for their actions in the war.
