By this submission Non-GovernmentalOrganization "Association of Relatives of Political Prisoners of theKremlin" provides the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances information about cases of human rights violations in the context of the armed conflict in Ukraine, specifically the enforced disappearances of civilian citizens of our state, which have resulted from crimes committed by Russian military personnel and representatives of the occupying authorities in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

The information gathered by the documenters of the "Association of Relatives of Political Prisoners of the Kremlin" provides compelling evidence of the aggressor country's violations of the laws of armed conflict and the norms and principles of international humanitarian law. These violations include war crimes such as murder, torture of civilians in occupied territories, unlawful confinement, plunder of public or private property, and the destruction of cities and villages.

We urge the Committee to consider this information and discuss the aforementioned violations of international law committed by Russia in Ukraine during its 27th session.
