I believe that these joint efforts will result in the establishment of a Special Tribunal that will be truly international and capable of bringing to justice those who planned this brutal war. ...This is not only a matter of justice for Ukraine and our people, but also a requirement of global security, as well as a unique opportunity for the international community to protect and strengthen the world order based on laws and rules.
