Only a special international tribunal on the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine will allow to restore justice and punish all the perpetrators - Andriy Yermak

He stated this during an online output at the conference "Possible scenarios for the persecution of Russia for the crime of aggression", which takes place in Paris with the participation of members of the working group to work out the issue of creation of a special international tribunal on the crime of aggression against Ukraine. Andriy Yermak noted that, according to the official data of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, more than 47.

9 thousand war crimes were committed during the full -scale war of Russia against our country, more than 8. 4 thousand civilians, including 440 children. 46 thousand houses and tens of thousands of civil infrastructure were destroyed. Among other things, 1. 4 thousand children for children were destroyed. 11. 4 thousand young Ukrainians were forcibly exported outside the country. “The atrocities we face are striking.

When our law enforcement agencies carried out exhumation in Izium, they found a minor girl who was initially raped and then brutally killed. They found a guy who was cut off the genitals before the execution. We find such terrible things every time we release a new settlement, ”said the head of the office of the Head of State.

Andriy Yermak emphasized that all crimes are one of the greatest - the so -called maternal crime of aggression, without the investigation of which the punishment of the perpetrators never to achieve the truth. “There is no doubt that Russia is fully responsible for the committed. Russian soldiers and their commanders who committed war crimes will be held accountable. However, this is not enough.

Criminal responsibility for the crime of aggression should be attracted by Russian officials, ”he is convinced. For his part, the Deputy Head of the Head of State Andriy Smirnov said that after analyzing all available international mechanisms, there was a high risk that no one would be held accountable for the crime Ukraine.

Thus, the International Criminal Court (ICS) in the Hague, which investigates the crimes of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, does not have sufficient jurisdictional powers. "For eight months of war in Ukraine, no registered proceedings in the ISS, which would concern the crime of aggression, simply does not exist for objective reasons," he said. A system of punishment used in the International Criminal Court may be used for the purposes of the Special International Tribunal.

Punishment for the crime of aggression against Ukraine after proven may be imprisoned for up to 30 years or for life. According to Andriy Yermak, a special international tribunal can be created by signing a treaty between states that want to join it, or on the basis of an agreement of Ukraine with an international organization.

The head of the Presidential Office recalled that the creation of a special international tribunal was supported by the European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the OSCE and NATO, Parliament of Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, but eventually the decision of a large number of countries that would like to join the creation of such a tribunal. “This is a matter for the whole world.
