Ukraine with Western partners discusses two models of a Russian specialist for the Russian Federation - Prosecutor General

According to him, the discussion is still at the stage of discussion, but compared to last year, when the event doubted the need for a tribunal, even discussing individual formats can be considered significant progress. "There are two models. The first provides an international treaty. It is simple in terms of the fact that at the level of international law of the country that signed such a treaty, can apply any practice that existed before Nuremberg.

The problem of such an international treaty applies to the availability of political will in those countries that support the idea of ​​a tribunal. If you apply a special -tribunal model built on an international treaty, it provides for the need for ratification in the parliaments of these countries. That is, it is possible to sign a treaty with the executive power of the country, but the legislature must confirm it ", Said Kostin.

The Prosecutor General said that the second model was built on an agreement between the UN Secretary General and Ukraine, but it should be supported in the UN Security Council. "Due to the position of certain countries, the decision to create a special tribunal may not pass.

So now we are discussing two options - it is an international tribunal created on the basis of a resolution of the UN General Assembly, and another proposal - about the internationalized tribunal, which envisages in its composition of Ukrainian and foreign judges that will act on the basis of Ukrainian law, "he said. Kostin also noted that the prosecution for the military crimes of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin may be much more difficult. "He has immunity.

That is, there are two basic positions, working with which I think we will find the result. The absentee condemnation is possible. This is the difference between the Special Tribunal from the ISS. The latter cannot judge in absentia. And the tribunal - may. wait, " - said the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.

Earlier, Focus reported that on July 26, US President Joseph Biden gave a decree of the United States Government with an order to submit materials to the International Criminal Court in the Hague in Hague, which testify to the Russian Army Military Crimes in Ukraine.
