Thank you very much. I also want to thank the witnesses for what they have been able to share with us. Thank you for everything you are doing to document the crimes against humanity and the war crimes happening in your country. I'm so sorry this is happening.
Every member of the House of Commons today voted on a motion to acknowledge and name the things that are happening in your country as crimes against humanity and war crimes. Every member of Parliament of our House of Commons voted for further action and to do more to help the people of Ukraine than we have already done.
Today, I want to focus my questions on two things. First of all, how we can make this much worse for Vladimir Putin and the Russians? I want to talk a bit about the consequences. I also want to get some information from you on how we can help.
In terms of the consequences, obviously, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court actually defines war crimes. We have article 8, and we have article 7, crimes against humanity. Clearly, these are tools we need to use.
I'd like some information from all of you. Perhaps I'll start with you, Ms. Pokalchuk. Regarding how these human rights abuses, war crimes, and crimes against humanity are being documented, how can Canada help with documentation and recording of those crimes, so that when it comes to the ICC, it is able to go forward?
