UN: Attacks on Commercial Ships Violate International Law
The United Nations stated that deliberate attacks on commercial ships and their crews are unacceptable under international law. The statement came after Ukraine's attack on a dry cargo ship in the Sea of Azov.
UN Human Rights Spokesperson Jeremy Laurence stated that commercial ships are protected as civilian objects under international law and their crews cannot be deliberately targeted. Laurence said that the dry cargo ship Volgo-Balt-138 sank as a result of a drone attack carried out by Ukraine in the Sea of Azov, and three crew members lost their lives in the attack. It was emphasized that under international humanitarian law, all necessary measures must be taken to avoid harming civilian ships and their crews. While an investigation into the incident was launched, Kherson Region Governor Vladimir Saldo stated that this crime would not go unanswered.
