Ukraine, Western allies and the EU Commission want to ensure that suspected criminals are brought to justice.
Discussions also included how Moscow might be prosecuted. A special tribunal may be set up for this purpose. The first claims for compensation from victims will also be registered at the conference in the Netherlands.
“Since the beginning of Putin’s brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, there have been repeated, shocking reports of war crimes and human rights violations by Russian soldiers, including the systematic use of sexual violence once morest women and girls. These heinous crimes must be fully investigated and prosecuted. We make our contribution to this,” said Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (VP) regarding the goals of the conference.
“Aim to punish crimes”
In the political declaration for the conference, the participating states reaffirm their support for the work of the International Criminal Court, the UN Commission of Inquiry into Ukraine in Vienna, the European judicial authority Eurojust and the Council of Europe’s damage register. “All of these institutions have the same goal: to punish crimes and to make a small contribution to ensuring that the victims can experience justice,” says the Foreign Ministry.
