CSLG's Statement on Russia-Ukraine Conflict and Genocide"We stand together with all those who support the people of Ukraine, and hope for a speedy resolution to the conflict by peaceful means that respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and political independence as protected in the UN Charter," said the Center for the Study of Law & Genocide in a March 1 statement.
