Social Media Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The Restoring Justice for Ukraine conference held in the Netherlands on April 2 saw a significant call from over 40 countries for the establishment of a special tribunal to hold Russia accountable for war crimes committed in Ukraine. This initiative addresses point seven of President Volodymyr Zelensky's 10-point peace formula, focusing on "restoring justice." Dutch Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot emphasized the commitment to ensuring accountability for the perpetrators of war crimes, expressing readiness to pursue international action if necessary. The Netherlands, as the host country of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has pledged to take the lead on this aspect of Ukraine's peace plan. The conference issued a political declaration signed by 44 countries, condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and advocating for the establishment of a special tribunal to investigate and prosecute Russian crimes. Additionally, the declaration called for Russia to pay compensatory damages for the harm inflicted on Ukrainians, suggesting the exploration of frozen Russian assets to cover these expenses. The Netherlands offered conditional hosting of both the tribunal and a compensation mechanism, with the latter already operational under the name Register of Damage for Ukraine. This mechanism enables Ukrainians to submit claims for damages caused by Russia's invasion, with over 100 claims processed already. Chaired by Dutch Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot and attended by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Dutch Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgoz, and European Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, the conference underscored the gravity of the situation and the collective determination to address the atrocities committed by Russian forces in Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have extensively documented numerous war crimes perpetrated by Russian forces, including attacks on civilians, cultural sites, and medical institutions, as well as instances of torture and deportations. The Prosecutor General's Office reported gathering pretrial information on over 128,000 victims of war crimes, highlighting the urgent need for accountability and justice. 04.04.24 Source 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Ukrainians can begin filing claims for damages they have suffered in Russia's invasion at a newly-established register based in The Hague Edited April 4 by Bkk Brian 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a very long docket Q, and only for this century. NATO force trials would be in court so long, all plaintiffs & defendants of the RU/UA conflict would be dead Edited April 4 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me to it. I'd be more impressed if they were wanting a tribunal about a certain other country as well, but seems they are just a bunch of hypocrites. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares if your not impressed.....its not about any other country aside from Russia and Ukraine, if you had any ethics and morals at all you'd support compensation for war crimes to victims but you obviously haven't with your deflection nonsense. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not confused about anything, in a conflict I have no interest in who has a business to make munitions, and to even think a conflict is based around making a profit for munition manufacturers is plain daft, all businesses make money, or try too......🙄 Tell me, if you become seriously ill and need specific medication, will you refuse it and die because a fat cat will make money out of you....? 🤔 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
