The Tribunal is necessary to ensure that the Russian leadership will be made accountable since the International Criminal Court (ICC) does not have formal jurisdiction over this crime against Ukraine.
The letter argues that aggression is the primordial crime leading to other international crimes all over Ukraine. Norway should signal that it will support ongoing efforts by Ukraine, the EU, and other states and stakeholders to create the Tribunal. The Centre for Civil Liberties is one of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize laureates and has been a strong supporter of establishing the Tribunal for a long time.
