A special tribunal against Russia will have the status of an international body, not a hybrid or national institution.
President Vladimir Zelensky and Secretary of the General Council of Europe Alen Berse signed a Strasbourg agreement on the creation of a special tribunal to investigate the aggression crimes against Ukraine. It became known from the broadcast conducted by the YouTube channel of the European Council on Wednesday, June 25.
“For the first time, a special -international tribunal was created to consider the crimes of aggression. This tribunal was created as part of the European council would hold those who applied force to violating the UN Charter, applying international law without double standard and confirming that Europe’s security is not based on silence or guilt, but in guilt, but in the absence of Europe’s security Laws, principles and actions, “Berses said.
The future special tribunal will allow you to conduct investigations against the leading state leadership, which is usually protected by personal safety, but sentences are possible only after the loss of positions.
In addition, the tribunal will have an international legal personality, and not the status of a hybrid or national structure. The basis of this is Article 8 of the Roman Statute Mus, which is supplemented by the standard of captive war from the resolution of 3314 UN General Assembly.
It is also set for the tribunal to pass the sentences without the existence of the accused, especially – against Russia’s political and military leadership, and also the potential Belarus and the DPRK.
Commenting on the event, the deputy head of the OP, Irina Mudraya, said this was the “final three -a struggle for justice that we had occurred in the darkest day of the war, when the world was reluctant.”
He emphasized that the less difficult stage was preceded – to make the tribunal effective. “But now we are clearly declared in the world: the crime of the aggression will not remain unanswered,” Mudra’s summary.
Keep in mind that the European Council Ministers committee launched a legal procedure to create a special tribunal on May 14. Prior to that, the process received political approval at a special LVIV summit on May 9.
