In the United States, they decided on a special tribunal for Russia

The most effective way to ensure accountability for crimes of aggression involves the creation of an international court within the Ukrainian judiciary, the US State Department said.

The US State Department supported the creation of a special tribunal to investigate the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine. This is what the Ambassador for Global Criminal Justice of the State Department, Beth van Skaak, reported the Voice of America on Tuesday, March 28.

“Today, at this critical moment in history, I can announce that we support the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression against Ukraine. Many different models are being considered. The United States considered in detail all the pros and cons of each of them and came to the conclusion that the most effective way to ensure accountability for crimes of aggression involves the creation of an international court within framework of the judicial system of Ukraine,” he said.

Van Skaak noted that it would include subject jurisdiction in international crimes, the involvement of international staff, possibly by bringing together professionals, judges, prosecutors, investigators, lawyers, or by providing expert assistance at the request of Ukraine.

According to him, the efforts may include international elements in how exactly the court will support Ukraine and where it will be located.

“For example, it can be somewhere in Europe, at least during a war, it will further strengthen the European orientation of Ukraine, the international legitimacy of such an institution and will be important for it, and will also provide assistance of powerful states. dedicated to the investigation. crimes of aggression,” said the ambassador.

Van Skaak noted that such a court could contribute to greater international support. Moreover, it will not require a resolution of the General Assembly on the creation of a new independent international institution, the development of which requires time and resources.

According to him, the United States is ready to cooperate with Ukraine and other states, provide resources, exchange data with the Tribunal to achieve comprehensive accountability for international crimes.

At the same time, van Skaak noted that so far there is no consensus on the creation of such a hybrid model of an international tribunal.

“There are two models that are being considered: this model is a Ukrainian tribunal, which will have an international character and will have a lot of international support, and another option that can be made by the UN General Assembly. The authorities of Both options are Ukrainian. . The advantage of a more isolated international institution has been expressed, but there are fears that it may not be possible to collect the necessary votes in the General Assembly to create such an institution,” he added.

Recall that the group for the creation of a special tribunal for Russia includes 33 states. Austria recently joined this group of countries.

And on March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now he faces arrest in 123 countries.
