Tribunal for Russia: Why the idea of ​​Kiev was not appreciated in the West and what it will probably be - the media

The material states that the partners rigidly blocked the classic international tribunal, and in Kiev decided to make some concessions. In particular, it is about creating a "hybrid" court. According to media reports, Ukraine has been working on the creation of a tribunal about the crime of aggression for almost a year and a half. That is, the work began immediately after the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in 2022.

"Formally, the invading war is recognized as an international crime, but no punishment is provided. More precisely, it is possible to punish for aggression only those states that have ratified the treaty separately for such actions. impunity, "Sidorenko said. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs offered partners to create a tribunal that would have entered the history of international law.

The idea was that the UN General Assembly approved the creation of a separate institution to investigate only one crime. This would have a veto over the UN Security Council. "This model was really beautiful, but it was not likely to live," the editor emphasized. He explained that the world leaders are not really interested in punishing the UN Council member.

In addition, in several countries, government officials are afraid to become a defendant "according to the Russian scheme", as they also conduct armed operations abroad. According to the "European Truth", a special tribunal about the crime of aggression by Russia will be created in the Hague, and it will act under the laws of the Netherlands. Ukrainian judges will be involved in the work.

"It is important for the Ukrainian side that after the Hague Tribunal is created, it has received a" blessing "by the UN General Assembly, its approval by a separate decision. And if, say, 100 states will support the work of such a court and its task, then then This body will become international, ”Sidorenko said. However, the editor urged that physically president of the aggressor country Vladimir Putin would not be on the dock, because the state would not give it.

In addition, the United States is strongly opposed to condemning the leader during his reign. "Our diplomats hear hints and direct statements that, they say, it is necessary to reduce Nakal and to realize that the court over Putin can only be started the next day after he leaves his post," the material reads. In addition to Putin, "Immunity" is endowed with Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Sidorenko stressed that the dialogue has not been completed and the decision has not yet been made. "But it should be noted that if we are tasked with gathering a maximum of votes in the UN General Assembly, concessions on the Ukrainian side are not excluded. The main thing is to balance them with such details that will ensure the efficiency of a specialized tribunal in the Hague," he summed up.

We will remind, Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin stated that Ukraine has developed two models of a special about a tribunal for bringing the Russian Federation to justice. He also noted that the condemnation of Vladimir Putin would be more complicated because of the immunity of immunity. On August 14, US State Department representative Bet Van Skaak explained that Washington did not support Ukraine's idea to create a special tribunal for two reasons.
