President Volodymyr Zelensky insists that the UN General Assembly should adopt a Ukrainian draft resolution in support of the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression by the Russian Federation.
He said this during a speech at the United for Justice conference in Lviv on March 3, according to a correspondent. “European Truth”.
Zelensky noted that the reality of the rule of international law would be witnessed if Russian President Vladimir Putin and his accomplices received legal sentences for crimes in Ukraine.
“In response to all the crimes and injustices caused by Russian aggression against the state of Ukraine and against the civilized order of the world, all the necessary steps we and you must take, steps for the sake of one result that will unite the civilized world, testify to the reality of the supremacy of international law, namely: the President Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin and all his accomplices must receive legal and fair sentences for everything they have done,” the head of state said.
In this regard, he called for the adoption by the UN General Assembly of a Ukrainian draft resolution in support of the creation of a special tribunal.
“The first thing we must achieve is that our association for the sake of justice should become a powerful impetus for the adoption by the UN General Assembly of the Ukrainian draft resolution, which will contribute to the creation of a special tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
He stressed that the tribunal would become the link that would solve the problem of the impossibility of bringing the International Criminal Court to justice precisely for the crime of aggression.
As reported in the Office of the President, Ukraine, together with allies and partners, has developed three models for the establishment and operation of a special tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression.
One of the models is the creation of a special tribunal on the basis of an agreement between Ukraine and the UN with the adoption of the relevant resolution of the UN General Assembly.
