An office to investigate Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will be opened in The Hague – date
Today, July 3, an international office to investigate Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will open in The Hague. This will be the first step towards a tribunal against the Kremlin regime.
The International Center for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression (ICPA) includes prosecutors from Kyiv, the EU, the United States, and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The center will conduct an investigation and gather evidence as an interim step before establishing a special tribunal to hold Kremlin officials accountable for armed aggression against Ukraine.
High-ranking officials will hold a press conference at the ICPA in the headquarters of the EU judicial agency Eurojust. Among them are Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, US Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite and EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders.
We will remind that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued warrants for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian President’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Oleksiivna Lvova-Belova.
