Council of Europe approves move to create Special Tribunal for Russia
The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers approved an Enlarged Partial Agreement to establish a Special Tribunal to try the crime of aggression against Ukraine and set up its Steering Committee. Thirty-six countries plus the European Union signed the agreement, with Australia and Costa Rica the only non-European signatories. The tribunal will be headquartered in The Hague and is designed to prosecute senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, for planning and carrying out the invasion. The move converts last year’s political deal in Lviv into a concrete legal pathway that enables indictments and trials for leadership-level aggression.
⚡️ Plucking 'justice from the ruins of war': Council of Europe moves on Nuremberg-style Russia trial. 36 countries and the European Union have committed to supporting the Special Tribunal, and the Netherlands has carried out preparatory work to host the court in The Hague.
saepurusass.bsky.social5Council of Europe has little economic or political power, but potentially significant moral authority. At some time muscovite info operations managed to spoil a lot, but now luckily CoE has regained the momentum.
pawel-radecki.bsky.social3We will have to prosecute and jail russians into the 2080's
Bryan Seitz3Can we have one for Trump ?
Taking a decisive step for justice 🇺🇦 We are joining the Special Tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression against Ukraine and ratifying the International Claims Commission to ensure victims are compensated. Holding Russia accountable is the only path to peace ↓ link.europa.eu/cKFkKX
🍉paraver🟩🟡🟥3Making any step for justice in Palestine and in Lebanon? There is taking place a genocide. Destruction, devastation and war crimes on a daily basis. Israel must be holding accountable, @ec.europa.eu @europarl.europa.eu
ggdepa.bsky.social2EU should make it crystal clear for Russia's nomenclatura and billionaire oligarchs that, unlike Putin's waterboy Trump, we will never negotiate or make a deal with Russia under Putin. It is up to them to set aside or send to The Hague or kill Putin but if they ever want a deal, he must be gone
Ivan Čurić2Good work. Now do Israel next
joseluisrg.bsky.social2This is a great step. To make it more than a gesture, a war needs to be won first. Faster support to Ukraine is needed.
Surely Not Pipou2The difference of treatment with Israel is baffling. When can we finally expect more decisive steps towards that direction also? You've made a total of 7 posts about this over the last few years, this is crazy.
Odiseus_312We didn’t stop Hitler. That was a mistake. Please avoid that error again. Putin is killing civilians EVERY DAY.
