Russia ordered to pay for Chechen killings. But what about justice for civilians?

"Russia has been ordered by the European Court of Human Rights to pay $225,000 in damages after finding it responsible for the deaths of around 11 people killed in Chechnya in 2000.

The court was delivering its verdict on an alleged massacre near Grozny on February 5 2000 after Russian forces had retaken the city from separatist rebels, court documents said.

Russian troops shot unarmed residents in the streets and in their houses, demanded money from the locals and set fire to their homes, the five testimonies presented to the court said.

Some Russian officials have voiced concern about the number of Chechen cases before the European court, with some members of parliament saying that the court is biased against Russia."

Now the conflict has not ended and human rights violation is perpetual. What's most hateful, impunity is perpetual.

"Impunity for human rights abuses has prevailed" says an Amnesty International report dated May 2007.
"The recently appointed President of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has stated that Chechnya is the 'quietest region in Russia' and the safest".
A claim A.I. rejects as human rights violation continue on both sides.

Tens of thousands lives gone, "many thousands of people are believed to be buried in unmarked graves around the republic: there are reported to be 52 registered sites of mass graves in Chechnya."
Justice. A word that must sound strange like a far-off echo in the desert to those civilians who witnessed the violent death of their dear ones.
