The United States has determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity in Ukraine, Vice President Kamala Harris said
Harris said that, as a former prosecutor and former head of California’s Department of Justice, she knows “the importance of gathering facts and holding them up against the law.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who also was attending the Munich conference, said in a statement issued as Harris spoke that “we reserve crimes against humanity determinations for the most egregious crimes.” Harris told the annual gathering of security and defense officials from around the world: “Let us all agree — on behalf of all the victims, both known and unknown, justice must be served.”“No nation is safe in a world where one country can violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another, where crimes against humanity are committed with impunity, where a country with imperialist ambitions can go unchecked,” Harris added.
Harris’ audience Saturday didn’t include any Russian officials. Conference organizers decided not to invite them this year.
