Amnesty International’s hypocrisy and double standards – opinion – While Amnesty is fully justified in calling out human rights violations by governments and organizations, this must be done in a fair and impartial manner. | The Jerusalem Post

In the context of the present conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Amnesty International, a widely recognized global human rights movement, issued a report on August 4, accusing Ukraine of establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas. These included schools and hospitals, thereby generating Russian strikes against those populated areas causing civilian fatalities and destruction of civilian infrastructure. The report implies that Ukraine may be committing war crimes and that its soldiers’ actions might be interpreted as using civilians as human shields.
