The Ukrainian authorities are actively seeking from international legal institutions the creation of a separate tribunal for Russian war criminals and the top leadership of the aggressor country. This idea is supported by the former prosecutor of the Yugoslav Tribunal, Jeffrey Nice, who believes that after the end of the war, the trial of the Kremlin dictator must take place in Ukraine.. The lawyer stated this during a special speech in Brussels on September 5, writes "

According to Nice, the creation of special tribunals for military aggressors is the right and effective step. He supports the cooperation of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine with international colleagues, but insists that the trial of Putin and his entourage should take place in Ukraine..

“The trial needs to be organized in Ukraine, so that it is conducted by Ukrainians, in Ukrainian. Of course, with the involvement of foreign experts. The trial of Milosevic began more than 20 years ago, when it became a kind of experiment. It wasn't perfect and it was too expensive.. I hope that the court, which will be held in Ukraine, will be organized according to a slightly different system and will become much more efficient.. After all, courts that last for years are ineffective for many reasons.. Therefore, the process should not be delayed,” Nice said..

He also stressed the need to create a tribunal for Putin, excluding the possibility of leaving him without punishment.. The prosecutor notes that one should not give in to calls that the president of the Russian Federation is “not worth trying” or even “impossible”. Nice noted that the crimes of Putin and other Russians are not difficult to prove, so you should not trust lawyers who claim otherwise..

Earlier, Jeffrey Nice said that the tribunal over Putin will be quick, as he is well aware of the criminality of his own actions..

In society, in addition to the request for victory, another request is becoming more and more tangible - the request for justice.. We do not know when the active phase of hostilities will end, but it is obvious that it is the demand for justice that will accompany Ukrainian society for decades.. How to satisfy him? The answer is in the article by Gunduz Mammadov, an expert on international criminal law, Ph.D..
