1. Under international law, individuals entitled to prisoner of war status have combatant immunity and cannot be prosecuted for having participated in hostilities or for lawful acts of war committed during the armed conflict.
2. If POWs are charged with crimes, they are entitled to due process and fair trial guarantees.
3. International humanitarian law prohibits the establishment of courts to judge POWs,  willfully depriving a prisoner of war of the rights of fair and regular trial amounts to a war crime.

1.  fight we are in is for something broader and more fundamental than democracy against autocracy. It is the right of peoples the world over to determine their own futures and to be free from naked aggression. This requires an orderly world where the law of the jungle does not operate.

The fact that nondemocratic systems have been so widespread and growing in number is not because evil rules the world, but because in many places circumstances are simply not ripe for stable democracy.

5 December 1994

Signed by: Ukraine, Russian Federation, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and United States of America

August 24, 1991: On Declaration of Independence of Ukraine. The Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic resolves that:  Ukraine shall be declared an independent democratic state on August 24, 1991. Upon declaration of its independence, only its Constitution, laws, orders of the Government, and other legislative acts of the republic are valid on the territory of Ukraine. - A republican referendum shall be organized on December 1, 1991 to confirm the act of declaration of independence.

Turkey’s balancing act can be measured act along three dimensions: helping Ukraine avoid defeat, avoiding open conflict with Russia while demonstrating solidarity with the West, and increasing Ankara’s regional diplomatic weight. On all three, the Turks have performed reasonably well. Early provision of military aid, especially armed drones, helped blunt the Russian assault on Kyiv. As the grain-corridor deal shows, Turkey’s influential role in the war makes it likely that it will also play an influential role in whatever peace follows. 

The strategy outlines four objectives to advance U.S. priorities in concert with regional partners in sub-Saharan Africa during the next five years. The United States will leverage all of our diplomatic, development, and defense capabilities, as well as strengthen our trade and commercial ties, focus on digital ecosystems, and rebalance toward urban hubs, to support these objectives:

The Revisionist Powers are a loose alliance of anti-western nations that are aspiring to end America’s global hegemony, in order to reshape the world’s power structure in their favor.
