The United Nations Human Rights Council will hold a special session on Ukraine this week after Kyiv called for a review of the situation there, spokesperson Rolando Gomez says, APA reports citing BBC.
It's after Yevheniia Filipenko, Ukraine's ambassador to the UN, wrote a letter urging it to consider “recent reports of war crimes and large-scale violations in the town of Bucha… and ongoing reports of mass casualties in the city of Mariupol”.
The UK, the US, and Germany were among 55 countries that signed the document.
The meeting, which is expected to take place on Thursday, could include a resolution tasking the newly formed Commission of Inquiry into the war with providing a detailed report to the council later this year.
