The Prosecutor states she has collected enough evidence that both sides committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the armed conflict in South Ossetia (IntlCriminalCourt, 2015). The Russian Federation supported South Ossetia during that period (from 1 July to 10 October, 2008). Numerous alleged crimes were a part of a broader campaign to expel ethnic Georgians from the region. Between 51 and 113 ethnic Georgian civilians died during the campaign. Both sides performed attacks on peacekeepers including the attack on the Russian peacekeeping force base and its medical facility.
