Ukraine intends to submit to UN resolution on special tribunal on Russian aggression

First Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Emine Dzhaparova made the announcement at the UN Security Council open debate on the rule of law in international relations, Ukrinform reports.

"We call on all responsible states to support the resolution on the establishment of the tribunal, which we are going to submit to the General Assembly," she said.

The First Deputy Foreign Minister stressed that "the right of force, which Russia barbarically practices against Ukraine, sends a clear message to everyone present in this room: no one is safe anymore.”

"If a country that abuses the rights and privileges of a permanent member of the Security Council attacks another UN member state, it means only one thing - security is destroyed, international peace is called into question, the rule of law is grossly violated," Dzhaparova said.

She recalled that almost 88 years ago, the US, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union signed the London Agreement and the Charter of the International Military Tribunal, which paved the way for the Nuremberg process.

"This is exactly what we must do today - to create a special tribunal to investigate the crime of Russian aggression," Dzhaparova added.

As reported, Ukraine initiated the creation of an international special tribunal that will bring the Russian leadership to criminal responsibility for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

The President of Ukraine has established a group that is working on the establishment of the special tribunal.

The idea has already been supported by the Parliamentary Assembly of the European Council, the European Parliament, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and individual states.

Kyiv is working on several options for the creation of the special tribunal, one of them - on the basis of an agreement between Ukraine and the UN, which may adopt a relevant resolution.
