Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I am very grateful to you for providing me with the floor. I'm a human rights lawyer, and I have been applying the law to defend people and human dignity for many years. At present, I am doing my job in circumstances in which the law doesn't work. Russian troops deliberately shell residential buildings, schools, churches and hospitals; attack evacuation corridors; manage a concentration camp system; organize forced civil deportations; and commit murder, torture, rape, abduction and other kinds of offences against civilians.
