Belov Alexander Sergeevich

Belov Aleksandr Sergeevich — Captain 3rd Rank, commander — military unit 86157 — large submarine B-237 "Rostov-on-Don" of the 4th Submarine Brigade of the Novorossiysk Naval Base of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy.

According to open registries, while serving as commander of the large submarine B-237 "Rostov-on-Don" of the 4th Submarine Brigade of the Novorossiysk Naval Base of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces, he directly personally managed the crew, organized combat duty, prepared the ship for combat use, and managed cruise missile launches.

There are reasonable grounds to believe that this individual is involved in the direct execution of criminal orders to carry out missile strikes with sea-launched cruise missiles (specifically "Kalibr" type) from submerged or surface positions against densely populated cities, energy, and civilian infrastructure objects that are not military targets.

These actions led to mass casualties among the civilian population and large-scale destruction, constituting a component of the Russian Federation's aggressive war against Ukraine and simultaneously containing signs of violations of the laws and customs of war.

Furthermore, the individual did not exercise the right to refuse to carry out a clearly criminal order, the obligation not to fulfill which is stipulated by norms of international law, thereby becoming an accomplice to the crime.
