The book about Russia's crimes in Ukraine, including the kidnapping of children, 'Crime Without Punishment,' received two awards at the ADC Annual Awards in the United States for Design for Good and Publication Design. This was reported on the award's website.
The book 'Crime Without Punishment' was created jointly by the creative agency Bickerstaff.734, the Ukrainian Leadership Academy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Crime Without Punishment," a 50-kilogram, 6,000-page book that chronicles Russia's grievous crimes against humanity. This isn't just a book; it's a testament to truth, a crafted exposé presented to global powerhouses like NATO, the European Parliament, and the Council of Europe. Each page is a reminder of Russia's inhumane acts, particularly the illegal deportation and indoctrination of Ukrainian children.
The objective of "Crime Without Punishment" is to document Russia's human rights violations and encourage accountability and global awareness.
Understanding the geopolitical tensions and history between Russia and Ukraine is essential to appreciate the book's context. The illegal deportation and indoctrination of children are severe human rights violations, part of a larger war conflict that has drawn international criticism.
The book's sheer weight and volume are symbolic, representing the gravity of the crimes and the overwhelming evidence against the perpetrators. Tagged "still in progress", most of its pages are classified, since case materials will be open to public only after criminals face justice. Hopefully, soon.
"Crime Without Punishment" made waves both offline and online. The book's unveiling led to a potential reach of 15 millions people, with media coverage amassing an impressive 331,625,434 views. Major television networks in Ukraine, Poland, and Belarus spotlighted the initiative, crafting stories that delved deep into the book's significance. This media attention, coupled with the book's compelling narrative, caused it to go viral on social networks, amplifying its message and impact. This initiative not only brought attention to the atrocities but also galvanized a global community, urging them to stand in solidarity with the victims and demand justice.
