She stated it during an open debate at the Security Council on strengthening trust to maintain peace, Ukrinform reports.
She believes that restoring trust in global relations and strengthening peace requires following the example set by the Nuremberg Tribunal in combating violations and aggression.
Hayovyshyn expressed the view that future trials of Russian war criminals will play a similar role in achieving justice. She also highlighted the current lack of reliability in the UN Security Council as a reference point for building confidence, stating that it fails to fulfill its intended purpose according to the UN Charter.
She recalled that the bloodiest full-scale war on the European continent in the past eight decades began during a Security Council meeting, attributing the loss of trust to the irresponsible behavior of a single country.
Emphasizing the importance of accountability and enforcement, Hayovyshyn stressed that Ukraine strongly supports the restoration of trust, which can only be achieved through ensuring accountability and applying adequate measures to offenders.
She pointed out that in April, the alleged criminal, who chaired the Security Council, incorporated the violation of another state's sovereignty and territorial integrity into his constitution.
On March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Federation Commissioner for Children, Maria Lvova-Belova.
