The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has released a video titled Georgia’s Unresolved Conflict, dedicated to the situation and consequences of the Russia–Georgia war in 2008, two days after the eighth anniversary of the short but brutal war.
The Alliance’s video released yesterday contained emotional interviews with internally displaced people, their memories about the Russia-Georgia conflict and wishes for the future, as well as comments of experts and the monitors of the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM).
See the video below:
The Russia-Georgia war lasted five days and after the armed conflict 228 Georgian civilians, 170 soldiers and 14 police officers had lost their lives.
The war displaced 192,000 people in Georgia. Many were able to return to their homes after the war but as of May 2014, more than 20,200 people remain displaced.
Tbilisi calls for world unity in response to crisis
When the clock strikes midnight tonight, Georgia will mark the eighth anniversary of Russia’s aggression and occupation of Georgian territory, as a sovereign, independent state.
Georgia’s Justice Minister made a special statement today, and welcomed the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s decision to authorise an investigation into possible war crimes committed during a conflict between Russia and Georgia in 2008.
The International Criminal Court made this decision after examining the prosecutor’s request and supporting material, including representations by or on behalf of 6,335 victims of the conflict. It will be the ICC's first investigation into a conflict outside Africa.
Crime that was allegedly committed on the territory of Georgia will be under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), no matter if one side of the conflict is a member of the Rome Statute or not,” top ICC prosecutor said.
