WAR IN UKRAINE
Legal expert: for sure there will be convictions of war crimes
The images of dead bodies of civilians lying in the street in Bucha, Ukraine, has shocked the world and Sweden and other countries have initiated investigations into war crimes.
But what are the chances of actually bringing those responsible to justice?
We speak to John Stauffer, legal director at the international human rights organisation Civil Rights Defenders about this, and about the definition of war crimes.
Correction: In an earlier version of the audio we stated that CRD have observers on the ground, that was incorrect, but they are in close contact with human rights groups in Ukraine.
