Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk on Documenting Russian War Crimes in Ukraine

Oleksandra Matviichuk is a 2022 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. She is a human rights lawyer who leads the Center for Civil Liberties, a Ukrainian human rights organization.   Oleksandra Matviichuk has been systematically documenting Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity since 2014, when Russia first annexed parts of Ukraine. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, her work has intensified and includes advocating for ways to bring perpetrators to justice. We kick off discussing her work prior to the 2014 annexations and 2022 Russian invasion and then have a powerful conversation about reconciling her values as a human rights lawyer and the desperate need for a swift Ukrainian military victory against Russia.   I caught up with Oleksandra Matviichuk at the Aspen Security Forum, where we recorded our conversation live.  Please visit https://www.globaldispatches.org/ to get our free newsletter and learn more about our work.
