Legal advisors from the European Commission, the European External Action Service, the Council of Europe, Ukraine, and 37 other countries have established key parameters for the creation of a special tribunal to address the crime of aggression against Ukraine, as reported by the official website of the President of Ukraine.
In particular, the essential elements of the Schuman Charter have been defined - the primary legal document that will govern the tribunal's activities. The Ukrainian delegation at the meeting was led by Deputy Head of the President's Office Iryna Mudra.
"The launch of the tribunal will demonstrate our serious commitment to ensuring peace and international law, that those responsible for the crime of aggression will be held accountable, and that justice will be restored," said Iryna Mudra.
Once operational, the tribunal will have the authority to hold Russian political and military leaders accountable, who bear the highest responsibility for the crime of aggression.
"When Russia decided to violate Ukraine's borders, disregarding the UN Charter, it committed one of the most serious international crimes - the crime of aggression. Now, justice is approaching. Justice for Ukraine. We have laid the legal foundations for the creation of a special tribunal," noted European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
