During the armed conflict between Russia and Georgia in 2008 there were cases of violations of international humanitarian law. On the Georgian side such cases were incidental, while on the Russian side, including Abkhazian and South Ossetian paramilitary forces, we face violations on a huge scale. The attacks were directed with violation of principles of proportionality and distinction between civilian and military targets. Occupation forces are also responsible for serious violations of international criminal law, including ethnic cleansings.
