Despite the political solidarity of Western allies, the practical punishment of war criminals from the Kremlin’s top ranks remains a difficult legal challenge, and Russian officials still find ways to evade justice in Europe.
This was reported on the air of “Pryamoy” by Andriy Kovalev, candidate of political sciences, commenting on the decision of 37 states to create a steering committee of a special tribunal for the crime of aggression.
“Putin always wanted to go down in history… He will go down in history as a criminal. And not only him. Putin, Shoigu, Gerasimov… Today they all received their ticket to The Hague,” he quoted the official position, commenting on the Foreign Minister’s speech.
At the same time, Kovalev expressed skepticism about the willingness of some countries to put justice above their own national interests. He cited examples of Russian generals, who were internationally wanted, avoiding extradition thanks to diplomatic pressure from Moscow. The guest emphasized that the tribunal will only become a reality when the international community begins to effectively detain suspects.
As a reminder, 37 states of the world have adopted a decision to approve the Expanded Partial Agreement on the Establishment of the Steering Committee of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine – the third founding document of the Special Tribunal. The decision was adopted on May 15 in Chisinau during the Ministerial Meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, which was attended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga.
Thus, the European Union and 36 countries have announced their intention to join the Expanded Partial Agreement on the Establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. According to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko, this indicates that the full launch of the work of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine is approaching.
Meanwhile, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi signed an order to scale up the collection, processing, and storage of information on violations of international humanitarian law by Russian occupation forces. The document provides for the introduction of uniform standards for recording and documenting war crimes.
