Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of determining the mechanisms of prosecution for crimes committed by the totalitarian regime during the Holodomor-genocide (other artificial famines) in Ukraine and the conduct of the Russian-Ukrainian war in modern conditions. The need to create a special mechanism of justice to prosecute persons involved in crimes, to conduct an investigation by the International Criminal Court in accordance with the Rome Statute is argued. Attention is focused on the role of documenting the facts of the commission of international crimes (the crime of aggression, the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes), collecting and submitting evidence of the commission of these crimes to the court. The importance of the application of special and forensic knowledge in proving the facts of the commission of crimes by the totalitarian regime is determined. The role of non-governmental, human rights organizations in helping law enforcement agencies to form the evidentiary base of crimes is emphasized. The position is expressed regarding the need to develop certain algorithms, rules, questionnaires, methods for collecting, recording and researching evidentiary information. The importance of researching information about committed international crimes in electronic sources, recording digital evidence is analyzed. The possibility of using the data of new forensic areas in the formation of evidentiary information: digital and nuclear forensics is considered.
