human rights organization seek german investigation
OMCT Secretary-General Gerald Staberock mentioned that there is clear evidence of torture can be seen intentionally and that it was widespread and systematic, thus reaching the threshold of crimes against humanity.
ECCHR Program Director for international crimes and accountability, Andreas Schüller added to it by saying that they expect the initiation of preliminary proceedings by the Federal Prosecutor General against those responsible, as there is no foreseeable investigation into these violations of international law in Belarus itself. Those affected must be able to exercise their rights, and Germany should take a leading role in this. The securing of evidence should also bolster a European approach toward the criminal prosecution, as well as measures within the UN framework.
Having wide range of options, still the two groups chose to file their lawsuit in Germany due to its principle of universal jurisdiction. This allows them the freedom that German courts can prosecute crimes against humanity that have been committed anywhere in the world.
