In a landmark ruling, the Belgian Court of Appeal has recognized the forced separation of children from their mothers as a crime against humanity. These actions were deemed inhumane acts of persecution under the principles of international law.
This judgment sets a significant precedent in the global fight against human rights violations. It is also expected to bolster the case before the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, who stands accused of illegal deportation and war crimes related to the transfer of Ukrainian children.
This decision highlights the critical role of justice and accountability in addressing war crimes and crimes against humanity, reaffirming that no state or individual is above the law when fundamental human rights are at stake.
