Prosecuting international crimes in Crimea with Gyunduz Mamedov

In 2014, Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula was annexed by Russia, and has since been held as an occupied territory of the Russian Federation. Join Gyunduz Mamedov, Ukraine’s Prosecutor of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, for a discussion about the ongoing occupation of Crimea, the work of his office in documenting human rights rights violations in the region, and how Ukraine engages in law enforcement activities over an occupied territory. What role can the United States play in this conflict?
