As Sybiha noted, the total number of participating states in the Tribunal has now increased to 25.
"I am grateful to Liechtenstein for its unwavering commitment to accountability, international law, and justice. On May 14-15, at the meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in Moldova, this agreement will be adopted. This is a historic effort in the field of accountability, which for the first time since the Nuremberg trials will ensure justice for the crime of aggression. We call on all states—both in Europe and beyond—to join us in this cause,"
Additional Information
The Special Tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine was established on June 25, 2025. The goal is the judicial review and prosecution of top Russian and Belarusian leaders for the crime of aggression, as well as for the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This is the first tribunal for the crime of aggression since World War II and the third in history after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, which took place from 1945 to 1948.
