Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Wednesday called on the UN to establish special tribunal for the “crimes of Russian aggression”.

“I'm calling on you to create a legal front of justice," Ms Zelenska told UN diplomats in a video address.

"It is needed to save the succeeding generations from this culture of war and reaffirm faith and fundamental rights of people."

She was speaking at a high-level event called Gross Human Rights Violations due to Russia’s Aggression against Ukraine.

“We have the right to live free not to be killed or tortured; the right not to be blown to pieces by a Russian missile,” she said.

Ms Zelenska shared photos of 16,000 Ukrainian children abducted and deported to Russia. Many have been sent to live with strangers throughout the country.

“From what we know they have been given to the Russian families and they're trying to erase their memory about their origin,” she said.

Ukrainian authorities have continuously accused Russia of child abductions during the war.

Russia, which has repeatedly denied its troops have committed any war crimes, said the alleged abductions were “voluntary evacuations” of children.

The US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, echoed Ms Zelenska's concerns and accused Russian forces of committing “crimes against humanity in Ukraine".

“This is not a determination we make lightly. But in this case, the evidence is overwhelming,” Ms Thomas-Greenfield said.

A recent study by the Yale School of Public Health estimates that at least 6,000 Ukrainian children, aged between four months and 17 years, are being held in “re-education” camps in Moscow-occupied Crimea and mainland Russia in the past year.

The report identified 43 centres involved in holding children from Ukraine since Russia’s February 24, 2022, invasion of Ukraine.

The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, established by the Human Rights Council in March of last year, and the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine have documented a wide range of atrocities and other abuses committed by Russian forces Ms Thomas-Greenfield said.

US President Joe Biden on Monday made an unannounced visit to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.

Mr Biden's stop was part of a European trip to coincide with the first anniversary on Friday of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

“The cost that Ukraine has had to pay is extraordinarily high,” he said. “Sacrifices have been far too great.”

Basquiat in Abu Dhabi

One of Basquiat’s paintings, the vibrant Cabra (1981–82), now hangs in Louvre Abu Dhabi temporarily, on loan from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. 

The latter museum is not open physically, but has assembled a collection and puts together a series of events called Talking Art, such as this discussion, moderated by writer Chaedria LaBouvier. 

It's something of a Basquiat season in Abu Dhabi at the moment. Last week, The Radiant Child, a documentary on Basquiat was shown at Manarat Al Saadiyat, and tonight (April 18) the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is throwing the re-creation of a party tonight, of the legendary Canal Zone party thrown in 1979, which epitomised the collaborative scene of the time. It was at Canal Zone that Basquiat met prominent members of the art world and moved from unknown graffiti artist into someone in the spotlight.  

“We’ve invited local resident arists, we’ll have spray cans at the ready,” says curator Maisa Al Qassemi of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. 

Guggenheim Abu Dhabi's Canal Zone Remix is at Manarat Al Saadiyat, Thursday April 18, from 8pm. Free entry to all. Basquiat's Cabra is on view at Louvre Abu Dhabi until October

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.
