The Children's Hospital Foundation exclusively raises millions of dollars for Kosair Children's Hospital, Kosair Children's Medical Center – Brownsboro and Norton Women's and Kosair Children's Hospital (opening in 2014 on the current Norton Suburban Hospital campus). These funds support programs, equipment and facilities, research, advocacy and education at Kentucky's only full-service, free-standing pediatric hospital and its sister facilities. Thanks to donations from the community in 2012, the Children's Hospital Foundation was able to provide more than $11.4 million to drive improvements and support the needs of Kosair Children's Hospital and Kosair Children's Medical Center – Brownsboro, which serve more than 155,000 children annually from throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Looking ahead, the community's dollars are at work more than ever before. This year, Norton Healthcare has committed more than $35 million toward a $70 million renovation project that will improve the hospital's neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, upgrade pediatric cardiac surgery operating rooms, revamp the main entrance and add a new elevator. A nearly $90 million, two-year project is transforming the 373-bed Norton Suburban Hospital on the St. Matthews campus into a new women's and children's hospital, which will change the face of health care in our region. Norton Women's and Kosair Children's Hospital will write a new chapter in our community's history book. It will be the first facility of its kind in our region — a testimony to the evolution of health care. Improving patient care always has been — and will always be — our top priority. And that could not happen without your support. Thanks to the community's generosity, we have many accomplishments and milestones to celebrate and be thankful for; but we have even more to strive for in the future. On behalf of everyone at Kosair Children's Hospital and Kosair Children's Medical Center – Brownsboro, we thank you for partnering with us as we move forward. Thomas D.

Bess, 17, is a soccer player attending Bellarmine University and studying physical therapy. Ike is 14 and loves to golf, listen to music and play the drums. And then there is Annie, 11, the Johnson family's "greatest miracle." ›› 3 CART WHEELS CART WHEELS As Kosair Children's Hospital grows, personalized care continues Ahead of the times Dean Lavenson Photos Kentucky requires newborn heart screening, a longtime practice at Kosair Children's Hospital B ess is the only child of Todd and Lee Margaret Johnson born without a heart condition. Todd and Lee have spent numerous evenings — 14 months' worth by their calculations — at Kosair Children's Hospital. That doesn't include all the day trips from their Bardstown home for their children's chest X-rays, lab work, outpatient cardiac catheterizations, surgeries and more. Edie was born with a hole in the center of her heart, Ike has half a heart and Annie had her first heart transplant when she was just 1 year old. From Edie's heart repair in 1992 to Annie's second of two heart transplants in 2010, the Johnsons have personally experienced something rare — two decades of advancements in pediatric heart care. ❛❛ None of our children think [the hospital is] a big scary place. Annie thinks it's the biggest treat in the world. She is treated like a queen." –Lee Margaret Johnson "Edie was the beginning of a very long continued relationship with Kosair Children's Hospital and the group of special people there who take care of heart kids," Lee said. "The first eight months of Edie's life was spent trying to keep her out of heart failure. We spent many nights on '4 West' that summer and fall." 4 West is the surgical floor at Kosair Children's Hospital. Back during Edie's first visit, the hospital had five floors, and physicians performed surgeries across the street at Norton Hospital. 4 Today, surgeons operate on patients at Kosair Children's Hospital, which now has eight floors. The 26-bed "Just for Kids" Critical Care Center will soon be expanded. It is the only pediatric intensive care unit of its kind in Kentucky. Located on the fourth floor and adorned with colorful ceiling murals, over the years the center has evolved into a place that is equipped to care for the most fragile patients. "A year's time in the medical field and the cardiac advancements are huge," said Lee, a first-grade teacher. "For us, it is extremely encouraging." And now — spurred by substantial growth — Kosair Children's Hospital is entering an unprecedented time in its care for young heart patients. The hospital, with support from the University of Louisville, has committed to bringing four additional cardiologists to Louisville in the next two years along with a third heart surgeon and support for an existing cardiologist's training in heart failure/heart transplantation. Pediatric surgery suites will be upgraded, and 17 new beds in the "Just for Kids" Critical Care Center will become a new pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). Physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, nurse educators, respiratory therapists and pharmacists will be specifically trained and dedicated to providing the best care to patients with heart conditions and those requiring surgery. The CICU should be completed by 2016. "The recent growth here is unparalleled," said Erle H. Austin III, M.D., chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Kosair Children's Hospital and professor of surgery at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. "Together with the University of Louisville, Kosair Children's Hospital is committed to helping shepherd pediatric cardiology through this exciting stage of growth and expansion — to save hearts of more young patients." Lee has no doubt that as Kosair Children's Hospital continues to grow, it will continue its legacy of personal care. "As medicine has advanced and operating rooms have moved, there are staff members who have been there the whole time," she said. "There are so many people who have been through this with us from the beginning. They truly are our family." Once a month, for example, Annie visits Kosair Children's Hospital for treatment to help her immune system. Each month, she announces her arrival and excitedly roams the halls in her wheelchair. "None of our children think it's a big scary place," Lee said. "Annie thinks it's the biggest treat in the world. She is treated like a queen." The Johnson family also is part of Brave Hearts, a support group of local families united by their children's fight for life after being born with complex congenital heart defects that required surgery. As a team, supported by the Children's Hospital Foundation, the Brave Hearts parents and children provide support for other families. –Stephanie Doyle The medical staff at Kosair Children's Hospital has long understood that infants' lives are saved through early detection of serious conditions. For the past two years, clinicians in the nurseries at Norton Hospital and Norton Suburban Hospital have been screening all newborns for congenital heart disease using pulse oximetry, a simple, low-cost and noninvasive test. If congenital heart disease is not detected shortly after birth, the results can be devastating. Fortunately, through the Congenital Heart Center at Kosair Children's Hospital, a dedicated team of expert cardiovascular surgeons and cardiologists can provide exceptional care for infants diagnosed with congenital heart defects, which are often life-threatening and require treatment within the first year of life. Thanks to Kentucky Senate Bill 125, clinicians throughout Kentucky will soon be using the simple but critical pulse oximetry test to help save the lives of more newborns. During a celebration at Kosair Children's Hospital, Gov. Steve Beshear signed the new law requiring the screening of all newborns. The bill was sought by the American Heart Association and the Kentucky Department for Public Health. "Every baby deserves a healthy start to life," Gov. Beshear said. "This measure builds on the success of our newborn screening expansion and is a great step forward for the health of Kentucky's infants." By the numbers Heart care at Kosair Children's Hospital 25 fetal echocardiograms performed each month (on average), a 50 percent increase in one year 20% increase in heart surgeries in the past year 450 specialty heart surgeries per year 420 heart catheterizations per year 12,000 noninvasive heart diagnostic studies per year 5 CART WHEELS CART WHEELS Dean Lavenson Photo T hree-month-old Jase Poppke quietly looked around inside the large doughnut-shaped computed tomography (CT) scanner, his tiny fingers wrapped around the thumb of Suzanne Loew, lead CT technologist at Kosair Children's Hospital. Seconds later, on the other side of a glass window, Jase's tiny heart appeared as an image on a computer screen. With the click-and-drag of a mouse, the image grew larger and incredibly detailed. The scanner uses a rapidly spinning X-ray tube inside the circular housing that takes images of the body as it moves through the opening, or "doughnut hole." CT scans are a common diagnostic imaging tool used to examine everything from the head, heart and abdomen to the spine, pelvis and even major blood vessels. "CT imaging helps us make important diagnoses and provide important information to the physicians taking care of our pediatric patients," said Philip Dydynski, M.D., pediatric radiologist. Dr. Dydynski is the new chief of pediatric radiology for Kosair Children's Hospital and Kosair Children's Medical Center – Brownsboro. He leads Norton Healthcare's team of 11 pediatric radiologists. Jase's CT scan was performed using a new piece of equipment called the Siemens 256-slice SOMATOM Definition Flash CT scanner. It is the latest in a series of advancements aimed at reducing radiation exposure to the hospital's smallest patients. Kosair Children's Hospital was the second freestanding children's hospital in the United States to install this state-of-the-art technology. The new scanner detects the size of the patient and adjusts the radiation level of the X-ray beams accordingly, making diagnostic imaging tests even safer for children. Because these scans are sensitive to movement, children often need to be sedated to remain still during the test. However, the new scanner's high speed allows for shorter tests, so children may not need sedation. Many tests can be completed in just a few seconds. "The end result is a radiation dose significantly less than CT machines from even a decade ago," Dr. Dydynski said. "The new CT is fast enough to scan the entire chest in between heartbeats with great accuracy. This results in a decreased need for sedation, even in infants such as Jase." Because Jase did not need sedation, he was back in his mother's arms in less than 15 minutes. Pediatric cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons will review his images to determine what type of surgery he will need to correct a congenital heart defect called tetralogy of Fallot. "The more detailed images have made it easier to diagnose congenital heart disease among other serious conditions," Dr. Dydynski said. The scanner at Kosair Children's Hospital is housed in a room designed specifically with children in mind. It is decorated with a soothing color scheme and has an overhead "window" that looks out onto a serene outer space scene. These help distract young children and ease their anxiety. Reducing radiation exposure is a top priority for Norton Healthcare. The new CT scanner and room design are part of several upgrades at Norton Healthcare facilities that total more than $5 million to date. The X-ray The Poppke family room in the emergency department at Kosair Children's Medical Center – Brownsboro was updated with a digital X-ray that acquires and transfers images in less time, reducing radiation exposure. "This allows for faster turnaround and less wait time in the emergency room," Dr. Dydynski said. Other improvements slated for Kosair Children's Hospital include upgrading a second digital fluoroscopy room and adding additional portable digital X-ray units. "The portable digital unit has been extremely well-received, especially by the emergency department physicians and pediatric surgeons," Dr. Dydynski said. "It is a tremendous benefit, especially in the trauma setting, as physicians caring for the patient are able to see the X-rays instantly."

Colored cards ask players to act, draw, practice or talk about pain coping techniques in order to advance through the game. "Distraction Drive" and the "Land of Stinking Thinking" are two examples of places that players encounter along the way. "My favorite part about watching patients play the game is when their eyes light up and smiles appear on their faces as they enjoy the playful aspects of the game, while at the same time learning very valuable coping skills," Dr. Carter said. Milayzia had an opportunity to play the game with Dr. Carter. "My favorite part was watching Dr. Carter act out what could happen when I don't use belly breathing to help calm me down," she said. "He threw a fit. It was hilarious!" Milayzia said the game helps her relax. "For a minute, I feel like a normal kid again," she said. "I think any kid who has pain would enjoy playing this game. It is a good way to take your mind off what is going on." "Milayzia readily began to use the coping language and strategies as she talked about her pain," Dr. Carter said. "She began to focus on functioning more than disability." S normal kid again. I think any kid who has pain would enjoy playing this game. It is a good way to take your mind off what is going on." –Milayzia Shouse 8 –Lauren Davis Watch a video of Milayzia demonstrating the Monster on the Move game at the Kosair Children's Hospital Coping Club website, www.copingclub.com. Milayzia Shouse and Bryan D. Carter, Ph.D. Dean Lavenson Photos ❛❛ For a minute, I feel like a ome say laughter is the best medicine. For others, laughter can simply help someone get through the day. For 9-year-old Milayzia Shouse, laughter — and a game that chases "pain monsters" away — helps her enjoy life until her doctors make the pain disappear. Milayzia's pain is attributed to a condition called tethered cord syndrome, which will require spinal surgery. She has visited Kosair Children's Hospital several times in search of help for excruciating pain in her legs. During many tests and visits, caregivers searched for ways to help her manage her pain in a way that medicine was not able to do. Milayzia began learning how to cope with her pain through techniques such as "belly breathing" and "creative imagery" thanks to the help of Bryan D. Carter, Ph.D., pediatric psychologist and director of the Pediatric Consultation-Liaison Service for Kosair Children's Hospital, and his team of child psychologists and psychiatrists. To help her practice her new coping skills and distract her from pain for short periods of time, Milayzia was introduced to a board game called Monster on the Move. Monster on the Move, also known as the pain coping game, was developed by Dr. Carter and Brooke Threlkeld, Psy.D., Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio, to help kids learn and actively practice pain coping techniques in a way that helps them turn it into something fun. The game also is a complementary therapy, which is based on the belief that care should be provided for the whole person — body, mind and spirit. Complementary therapies use the connection between a person's mind, body and spirit to enhance total well-being. Other related techniques may include meditation, yoga and clinical biofeedback. "The game indirectly engages kids in the process of learning coping strategies for dealing with chronic pain while also respecting and validating their pain and distress," said Dr. Carter, who also is professor of pediatrics in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Though Milayzia will be glad to have her tethered cord pain addressed by a talented neurosurgeon, in the meantime she is learning coping skills with the help of a special monster named Mo.

While sitting around a campfire — admittedly with one leg swung over an armrest of a foldable chair — the 13-year-old fell out of his chair when its front legs collapsed. His left hand broke his fall but plunged into the fire pit. Although it had prevented his head from falling into the fire, his hand was severely burned. Devin got himself up and began to run for help but quickly realized his coveralls were on fire. He did what he had been taught — stop, drop and roll — and was able to extinguish the fire. A local hospital told the O'Keefes that Devin needed advanced burn care. He was transported to the Kosair Children's Hospital pediatric burn unit — the same place that treated the survivors of the Carrollton, Ky., bus crash 25 years ago. The burn unit cares for about 3,000 pediatric and adult patients each year. Devin was treated for second- and third-degree thermal burns. Thermal burns are caused by any external heat source, such as fire, steam, hot liquid, or by direct contact with a hot object, such as a hot oven rack or cooking pan, according to Mary E. Fallat, M.D., chief of surgical services, Kosair Children's Hospital. The more severe the burn, the more difficult it is to heal. Thirddegree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of the skin. They cause permanent tissue damage and may affect fat, muscle and even bone. Two areas of Kosair Children's Hospital care for children with major burns: the "Just for Kids" Critical Care Center and the burn unit. Both areas are fully equipped to manage traumatic injuries and have specially trained nurses and physical therapists. Devin was admitted to the "Just for Kids" Critical Care Center. "His hand was basically a giant blister, even between his fingers," said his mother, Lisa O'Keefe. During his 12-day hospital stay, Devin underwent two surgical debridements, a procedure to remove dead, damaged or infected tissue. "Debridement improves the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue and is an important part of the healing process for burns," said Dr. Fallat, who also is division chief, pediatric surgery, University of Louisville School of Medicine. Because so many layers of tissue are affected by burns, they are very painful. Devin's burn was particularly painful because of its location. "Burns on the surface of the palm of the hand are very painful. There are many nerve sensors in that part of the hand," said Janice Bickett, APRN, clinical coordinator of trauma services at Kosair Children's Hospital. Many of these types of burns are grafted, meaning the damaged areas are covered with healthy skin from another part of the patient's body. In Devin's case, they opted for hydrofiber dressing, which helps keep the wound moist while the skin heals. "When deemed appropriate for the patient, hydrofiber dressing can be very useful," Bickett said. "It provides an opportunity for increased pain control, as the dressing remains intact until the injury is healed and peels off of the affected area. It also has the potential to decrease length of stay in the hospital. For Devin, we achieved excellent results — and didn't have to graft him." Nine months after his injury, Devin is wearing a pressure glove to help improve circulation and prevent scarring. Soon he can stop wearing the glove, but the high school freshman is already back to his favorite outdoor pastimes — hunting, fishing and, yes, camping — although he enjoys the campfire a little differently now. "I learned my lesson about how to sit properly in a chair," he said. –Stephanie Doyle Organization supports burn patients Nineteen years ago, 40 members of the Kentucky Fire Sprinkler Contractors Association (KFSCA) decided to do something for the community. "Kosair Children's Hospital's pediatric burn unit seemed like a perfect fit," said Angela Underwood, event planner for the association. "The entire focus of our industry is on minimizing death and property loss with our technology. The pediatric burn unit holds a special place with our members because it eases the suffering of young fire victims." As a way of giving back to Kosair Children's Hospital, the organization began holding a golf scramble and silent auction to raise funds for the pediatric burn unit. The 19th annual KFSCA Foundation Golf Outing will be held Oct. 7, 2013, at the Cardinal Club in Simpsonville, Ky. Since its inception, this event has raised nearly $400,000 for various organizations whose focus is fire prevention and safety. You can get involved with the golf outing by participating, becoming a sponsor or purchasing raffle tickets for a chance to win an iPad Mini. Tickets are $5 each, and only 200 will be sold. "We hope to have many attractive items up for bid this year at our charity silent auction," Underwood said. For more information on the event, call the KFSCA office at (502) 223-5322. 11 CART WHEELS NICU nurse becomes NICU mom CART WHEELS F or two years, Lindsay Sauer cared for babies in the Kosair Children's Hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a special nursery for premature infants and babies born with conditions requiring advanced care or surgery. "I came to the NICU straight from nursing school and plan on staying there — I love it," Sauer said. While working in the NICU, Sauer had cared for dozens of babies — singletons, twins and triplets. Little did this registered nurse know, however, that her own babies — quadruplets — would be cared for in that same NICU, which happens to be one of the largest in the United States. ❛❛ Knowing that my babies were being given excellent care by the amazing NICU staff helped ease my fears. I've never met a group of people who care so much for others. I get emotional just thinking about how great everyone was to us. We are so very grateful." –Lindsay Sauer "The hospital stay was long but absolutely worth it," said Sauer, who was cared for by Thomas N. Tabb, M.D., perinatologist with Kosair Children's Hospital Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists. "Dr. Tabb checked on me almost every day and his positive, upbeat attitude gave me the confidence to keep hanging on." "We're so thankful for meeting with Dr. Tabb and cannot say enough good things about this man and his nurses," said new dad Brandon Sauer. "We are a family of six now — such a crazy thing to say. But six it is, and we're in this together and have been since that first day in Dr. Tabb's office." Despite Lindsay Sauer's experience working in the NICU, seeing her own children in the unit's tiny beds proved challenging. "Having them in the NICU was definitely difficult," she said. "It gave me a different perspective on things. It's nearly impossible to explain how hard it is to leave your tiny newborn babies in the hospital and go home." Sauer's first night at home without the babies brought many tears. "Nothing can make that separation easier," she said. "But knowing that my babies were being given excellent care by the amazing NICU staff helped ease my fears. I've never met a group of people who care so much for others. I get emotional just thinking about how great everyone was to us. We are so very grateful." Sauer has headed back to work in the NICU with a new viewpoint on what it's like for families with babies in the hospital. "I will be able to better relate to the parents of my patients since I've been on the opposite side of care now," she said. –Stephanie Doyle Nick Bonura Photo "I could have never expected my kids to end up in the NICU, but everything happens for a reason," Sauer said. "Maybe they were given to me because I have experience with premature babies." After six weeks on bed rest at Norton Hospital, Sauer's babies arrived prematurely via cesarean section. At 8:42 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, Lucas George entered the world as the biggest Sauer baby at 4 pounds, 4 ounces. He was followed by brothers Silas Cole at 3 pounds, 13 ounces; and Maxwell Carter at 3 pounds, 14 ounces. Then the Sauer family welcomed little sister Avery Catherine, the smallest of the babies at 2 pounds, 9 ounces.

AUGUST need a boost, too Getting on board with booster seat safety National guidelines recommend children should ride in a booster seat if they are: UNDER 8 years old 57 inches tall 80 pounds Y our 7-year-old may pout over having to sit in a booster seat in the car, but doing so reduces the risk of injury if he or she is involved in an accident, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). "Moving a child to a less restrictive seat too soon can be a step backward in terms of safety," said Sharon Rengers, R.N., supervisor of the Children's Hospital Foundation Office of Child Advocacy of Kosair Children's Hospital. All children under age 8 should ride in a booster seat until they reach 57 inches tall or weigh more than 80 to 85 pounds. At that time, an adult should check that the car's seat belt fits correctly, according to the AAP. An adult seat belt that does not fit a child properly can actually cause injury rather than prevent it because it doesn't fit over the strong parts of the child's body. If the shoulder strap touches the neck or abdomen — as it often does with seat-belted younger children — the likelihood of serious injury from a collision increases. A booster seat raises and positions the child so the lap and shoulder belts fit properly over the stronger parts of a child's body. "The seatbelt cannot be one size fits all," Rengers said. "The belt that fits a 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pound man doesn't fit a 52-inch-tall child." Kentucky state law is more lax than the AAP's recommendations, requiring children 40 to 50 inches tall and younger than 7 years old use a booster seat. Advocates of more stringent booster seat laws that match national guidelines have been pushing for tougher laws — and are planning to continue pushing. Approximately 25 states, including Indiana and Tennessee, have implemented stricter booster seat laws. "A bill was introduced last year in the Kentucky legislature, but failed to pass," Rengers said. "If another bill is introduced in January 2014, we will support it and encourage parents to contact their legislators and ask them to protect Kentucky's children. A new law will decrease the number of severe injuries." –Stephanie Doyle Now through Nov. 23 SEPTEMBER 21 OCTOBER 6 Win a house. Help a child.

This is the first phase of a $70 million renovation project that will improve the hospital's neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, upgrade pediatric cardiac surgery operating rooms, revamp the main entrance and improve mobility around the hospital. Some high-profile guests helped more than 600 students at Greathouse/ Shryock Traditional Elementary School celebrate the completion of a successful service learning project that raised more than $53,000 for Kosair Children's Hospital. In attendance was Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Donna Hargens, Sen. Morgan McGarvey, Bellarmine University men's basketball coach Scott Davenport, Olympic swimmer Caroline Burckle and Olympic silver medalist in judo Grandmaster Jung Oh Hwang. During the school's four years of participation in the Children's Hospital Foundation's Kids for Kids program, the students have raised more than $165,000. Funds raised from this year's project will go toward the Wendy L. Novak Diabetes Care Center and the neonatal intensive care unit through the Piggies for Preemies Program, sponsored by BB&T. This year's fundraising amount was the highest yet and put the school at the top of the Jefferson County Public Schools system for overall charitable fundraising for the 2012-2013 school year.

Perhaps you have the misfortune of finding yourself in Domestic Violence ("DV") Court. You need a Domestic Violence Court lawyer in New York City.
Domestic Violence Court adjudicates criminal offenses allegedly committed against members of the same family or household.
Everyone in Domestic Violence Court – the judge, the prosecutors, the clerks and all other court staff – deal with domestic violence cases all day, every day. Perhaps as a result, Domestic Violence Court tends to institutionalize society's bias and hostility against people accused of domestic violence offenses. While creating a favorable environment for complainants, Domestic Violence Court tends to apply a weaker presumption of innocence than other parts of the criminal court system.
A perfect example is the routine issuance of temporary orders of protection. Such orders, based on nothing more than bare allegations, will often result in a defendant being completely excluded from the home, without benefit of a hearing to challenge the allegations. Some Domestic Violence Courts refuse to modify temporary orders of protection until the case is over, regardless if the defendant is innocent; regardless if the complainant wants the defendant back home; regardless if the complainant admits having lied. The defendant is presumed to be a violent threat to the complainant from the moment of arrest until the case is over.
Domestic Violence Courts are fully aware that domestic violence allegations routinely arise in dysfunctional relationships; that many complainants manipulate the system to gain an advantage in divorce, child-support or custody proceedings; that some complainants make false domestic violence allegations motivated by anger, jealousy and retaliation. However, Courts treat these situations as rare exceptions, knowing but never acknowledging that such situations are far from rare.
You need a lawyer to push back hard against the institutionalized bias you will encounter in Domestic Violence Court. Otherwise, you won't stand a chance.
Call me for a FREE consultation. Speak with a criminal defense attorney in NYC who can tell you what you need to know.
The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation. Contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship.

A war crime is a serious violation of the laws and customs of war (also known as international humanitarian law) giving rise to individual criminal responsibility. From Wikipedia
From ForeignPolicy
What began as a localized crisis in Crimea has now become a de facto state of war between Russia and Ukraine. After pro-Russian forces seized control of the Crimean parliament and government last week, Russian troops began occupying strategic sites throughout the autonomous republic on Friday and Saturday. On March 1, President Vladimir Putin escalated the conflict by submitting the following appeal to the Russian parliament:
In connection with the extraordinary situation that has developed in Ukraine and the threat to citizens of the Russian Federation... I hereby appeal to the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to use the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine until the social and political situation in that country is normalised.
Needless to say, the Council of the Federation gave its approval immediately. The extraordinary aspect of this request is that it gives Putin carte blanche to deploy Russian troops, not just in Crimea, where "citizens of the Russian Federation" are supposedly under threat, but "on the territory of Ukraine" -- that is to say, anywhere "citizens" might be under threat. Insofar as actual or alleged Russian citizens can be found everywhere in Ukraine, Putin has now arrogated to himself the right to deploy Russian troops in, and in effect occupy, all of Ukraine. And since he will be the one to define when "the social and political situation in that country is normalised," that occupation could last as long as he likes -- possibly resulting in permanent annexation.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that pro-Russian forces have seized administrative buildings and called for Russian assistance in a variety of Ukraine's southern and eastern provinces: Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, and Dnipropetrovsk. Whether they represent anyone beside themselves is unclear, but there is no doubt that pro-Russian sentiment does exist among many ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians in these provinces. More often than not, locals want an expansion of their regional powers and more cultural-linguistic autonomy. These are the normal demands made by regions and minorities in most contemporary states. If Putin were not a factor, authorities in Kiev should be able to hammer out some deal that would satisfy the rebellious provinces.
If, however, Putin decides to intervene militarily in Ukraine's southeast, the tussle between Kiev and the provinces automatically will become a question of separation, dismemberment, and Russian aggression. Both Moscow and Kiev know that Russia's military is superior to Ukraine's. Russian armed forces number about 750,000 troops; Ukraine's about 150,000. Russia has been aggressively spending on its military in the last decade, while Ukraine has actually been cutting back. In any armed conflict, Russia would win. Ukraine's only hope would be to threaten to inflict enough casualties to affect Putin's calculation of costs and benefits. And the farther Russian troops march into Ukraine, the more popular resistance they will encounter -- and therefore the more civilian casualties they will inflict. Is Putin willing to start a war over all or most of Ukraine, or will he confine himself to annexing Crimea or, say, a few southeastern provinces?
The costs of a military incursion beyond Crimea would rise with the extent of the incursion. Annexing Crimea would outrage the Ukrainians and Central Europeans, but might, with some finessing, escape the ire of Brussels, Berlin, and Washington. Invading Ukraine's southeast would be a naked imperial land-grab that would probably usher in a new cold war and shut off Russia from the international community. Launching a full-scale war with numerous civilian casualties, massive human rights violations, and possible ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians from the southeast would transform Putin into a pariah and earn him the reputation of a war criminal. Russia, meanwhile, would be completely isolated and possibly subjected to increasing claims on its own territory, by non-Russians within the country and by large powers (such as China) on its borders.
If one considers Russia's interests, none of this -- the armed intervention in Crimea, the claimed right to intervene anywhere in Ukraine -- makes sense. Putin's arguments simply do not hold water. As objective observers will confirm, there is absolutely no threat to Russian citizens anywhere in Ukraine. There may have been a diminution of overall law and order following the collapse of Viktor Yanukovich's regime, but that affects all Ukrainian residents equally. Nor is the Kremlin's claim that putative "fascists" from Western Ukraine are about to descend on Crimea and the southeast even remotely true. By the same token, intervention, war, international isolation, and the like will not enhance Russians' living standards or their sense of well-being. There may be a temporary spurt of excitement at seeing the Russian tricolor hoisted in Donetsk, but that enthusiasm will quickly fade when Russians realize that these regions will impose an enormous economic liability. And, finally, there is no way that a truncated Ukraine's transformation into a hostile anti-Russian state and a permanent occupation by Russian troops of potentially rebellious provinces -- after all, there are also large numbers of pro-Western Ukrainians in the southeast -- could possibly serve Russia's interests.
There is only one reason Putin has embarked on what Russian democratic opposition leader Boris Nemtsov calls "folly": flexing his military muscle enhances Putin's authority as a strongman who will reestablish Russia's grandeur and brook no people-power in former Soviet states.
Putin's incursion suggests that he must fear Ukraine -- so much so that he is willing to risk Russia's prosperity and stability. Putin the rational Bismarckian geostrategist has clearly given way to Putin the irrational and impulsive leader -- possibly as a result of the triumph of the democratic revolution in Ukraine. This may be the only ray of light in an otherwise catastrophic picture. Bad leaders make bad mistakes and, when they do, their power often disintegrates. Unfortunately, thousands of Ukrainians and Russians may have to die before that happens.
Heads of state & government
To date, the present and former heads of state and heads of government that have been charged with war crimes include:
German Großadmiral and President Karl Dönitz and Japanese Prime Ministers and Generals Hideki Tōjō and Kuniaki Koiso in the aftermath of World War II.
Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milošević was brought to trial for alleged war crimes, but died in custody in 2006 before the trial could be concluded after more than 4 years of proceedings.
Former Liberian President Charles G. Taylor was also brought to The Hague charged with war crimes; his trial stretched from 2007 to March 2011. He was convicted in April 2012.[14]
Former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadžić was arrested in Belgrade on July 18, 2008 and brought before Belgrade's War Crimes Court a few days after. He was extradited to the Netherlands, and is currently in The Hague, in the custody of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The trial began in 2010 and is expected to continue until 2014.
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Omar al-Bashir, current head of state of Sudan, for actions in Darfur.
Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was indicted for allegedly ordering the killings of protesters and civilians during the 2011 Libyan civil war, however he was killed before he could stand trial in October 2011. From Wikipedia
Ukraine's government says Russian forces stormed a military base in Crimea and killed a Ukrainian officer, escalating tensions in the region
Tensions in the disputed region of Crimea reached new heights Tuesday as Ukraine said a military officer was killed shortly after Russia formally annexed the breakaway peninsula.
Interim Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk blamed Russian forces—whom he said stormed a Ukranian military outpost near the city of Simferopol—for the killing, and warned the conflict is "shifting from a political to a military stage."
"Today, Russian soldiers began shooting at Ukrainian servicemen," he said, according to AFP. "This is a war crime."
His claim could not be immediately verified, but if true, it would mark the first fatality in clashes between the two countries' militaries during the weeks-long crisis in Crimea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, delivering a televised address to the country's parliament on Tuesday, defended his country's decision to absorb the region after it voted Sunday to split from Ukraine.
Revealed: Russia's worst war crime in Chechnya
From The Guardian
Her face burnt almost beyond recognition, she lies prone on her hospital bed and tells in a child's whispers of the day her mother, father, her two brothers, her sister and her cousin - among 363 people from the same village - were wiped out.
At eight years old, Taisa Abakarova is an eyewitness to the worst war crime in the savage campaign of Russia's acting President, Vladimir Putin, against the 'terrorist fighters' of Chechnya.
The village of Katyr Yurt, 'safe' in the Russian-occupied zone, far from the war's front line, and jam-packed with refugees, was untouched on the morning of 4 February when Russian aircraft, helicopters, fuel-air bombs and Grad missiles pulverised the village. They paused in the bombing at 3pm, shipped buses in, and allowed a white-flag convoy to leave - and then they bombed that as well, killing Taisa's family and many others.
The Observer , in a joint investigation with Channel 4's Dispatches , went to Katyr Yurt and saw what was left: a landscape as if from the Somme, streets smashed to matchwood, trees shredded, blood-stained cellars, the survivors in a frenzy of fear. The village was littered with the remains of Russian 'vacuum' bombs - fuel-air explosives that can suck your lungs inside out, their use against civilians banned by the Geneva Convention.
Local witnesses, astonished by the first visit by Western outsiders to their village, ringed west and east by special troops from the Russian secret police, the FSB, said they had counted 363 corpses piled two or three high in the street - 'so many you couldn't get a car past them' - before the Russians took many of the bodies away and dumped them in a mass grave.
Taisa has a cruelly burnt face, both hands burnt and bandaged, a broken right leg swathed in plaster, a left knee pinioned by iron bolts and internal bruising, and yet she wanted to tell us what happened. Taisa's father, Mansour, 45, a builder; her mother, Hava, 45, a school teacher; her brothers, Magomed, 14; Ruslan, 12; her cousin, Hava, eight; and her sister, Madina, six, were squashed into the family's black Volga saloon. She explained how the convoy left Katyr Yurt for what they hoped was safety. 'There was a white flag on our car, flying from a wooden stick,' she said. 'Then two planes came and they hit us and my dad and mum were sitting in front of us and my brother and me were sitting in the back seat. Then we were blown up. I fell to the mud in the ground.'
Taisa winced as her aunt, Tabarik Zaumajeva, swabbed the burnt skin around her eye. The aunt said: 'At night she is scared to close her eyes. She told me that she was afraid the whole picture would come back.'
The worst is that Taisa's aunt cannot bring herself to tell the little girl she is the only survivor of the seven people in the family car: 'I don't know how to tell her. If we tell her now, she wouldn't be able to bear it. She's already afraid to close her eyes at night. Last night she woke 10 times and we can't calm her down.'
Katyr Yurt, to the west of Grozny, was quiet, calm and untouched on the night of 3 February. But Grozny had fallen and Chechen fighters had fled Russian revenge. Some of them passed through Katyr Yurt. There is one story that two Russian soldiers were kidnapped or killed that night. On the morning of 4 February, all hell began.
Putin has consistently denied human rights abuses in Chechnya. Putin's denials have mollified Western leaders, and only last month Foreign Secretary Robin Cook met him in Moscow and went out of his way to praise the ex-KGB secret policeman who gave out hunting knives to his troops on New Year's Day. Cook said of Putin: 'I found his style refreshing and open, and his priorities for Russia are ones that we would share.'
What follows is the evidence The Observer/Dispatches has obtained about what his forces did to the civilians of Katyr Yurt, evidence that might call into question the Foreign Secretary's endorsement of Putin's priorities 'that we would share'.
Rumissa Medhidova is 27, but her face is so sick with grief and horror she looks 30 years older. She became a widow on 4 February. 'All the Russians left the village and at around 10am they started to bomb.They used everything. In the centre of the village, not one house is left standing. In one family there were three children around their dead mother. They had been shot in the leg by Kalashnikovs. At half past four, they said: "We will give you two hours". They sent buses in with white flags.'
People rushed around to find white sheets or anything at all white to mark their cars. There was even time for a joke: 'I saw a cow with white on its horns and people were laughing.'
The convoy set off, each car showing a white flag, some cars showing two or three, packed with mainly women and children - the men held back, to make more room for children, said Rumissa. It headed west towards the town of Achoi Martan and safety. 'When we were on the open road, they fired ground-to-air rockets at us. It was a big rocket, not as big as a car. It was strange. It didn't explode once, it exploded several times. Every car had flags, how many cars I don't know. It was a mess, lots of them. They hit us without stopping.'
Could the Russians have mistaken the white-flag convoy for fighters? 'No, they couldn't mistake us. They knew very well there were a lot of refugees: 16,000 refugees and 8,000 locals in the village. In front of us was a big car full of children, not grown-ups. They burnt before my eyes.'
Her husband stepped out of the car and was killed by shrapnel. With her children, she ran from the carnage and made it Achoi Martan: 'I saw a lot of bodies but I don't know how many. There were a lot of people lying on the road. I didn't count them. I also saw different parts of burnt bodies collected in buckets.'
And then the cover-up began: 'The Russians wouldn't allow the people in the village to collect the bodies. They only allowed people on the fifth day to go and collect the bodies. When people arrived there, they asked: "Where are the bodies of our people?" The Russians said some had already been burnt. People say the Russians took the bodies and threw them in a mass grave.'
