RWCHR in the News: Coalition of Experts Concludes Russia is in Breach of the Genocide Convention

The Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights (RWCHR), chaired by Professor Irwin Cotler, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, along with the New Lines Institute, published the groundbreaking independent expert report, which received widespread international news coverage, including a CNN exclusive and a New York Times front page story.

“We’d like to thank all the contributors who made this report possible. Given the coverage by every major outlet around the world, the international community cannot say they were unaware of the imminent risk of genocide in Ukraine and the corresponding duty to act.”
- Yonah Diamond, RWCHR Legal Counsel and Lead Author of the Report
