Ukraine, together with the Council of Europe, will sign an agreement this week on the creation of a Special Tribunal, which will be a step towards bringing Russia to justice for war crimes. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Telegram channel of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Details
As stated by Yevheniya Kravchuk, Deputy Head of the Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy, member of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE, "Ukraine, together with the Council of Europe, will sign an agreement this week that will bring Russia closer to accountability." She emphasized that "this is truly a historic event."
According to Mariia Mezentseva-Fedorenko, head of the permanent delegation of Ukraine to PACE, a number of important resolutions are expected to be adopted. In particular, "legal and human rights aspects of Russia's aggression against Ukraine" and "support for political negotiations to ensure the exchange and release of prisoners of war."
She emphasized that the agenda includes "fundamental issues concerning Russian aggression – justice and punishment for all involved in genocidal crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression (creation of a Special Tribunal)." It also concerns "compensation for all victims – the Register of Damages and Compensations," as well as "the return of all children illegally deported by Russia and detained prisoners, and the conditions of their detention, access, and monitoring."
Mezentseva-Fedorenko reported that PACE will also consider issues of "promoting inclusive participation in parliamentary life," "protecting human rights in sports," "the Olympic movement and peace," "migration management," and "sustainable and socially just energy transition."
