The International Criminal Court has a ‘historic’ role to play in bringing justice for crimes committed in the war in Ukraine and ensuring long-term security, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said after meeting with the ICC's top prosecutor
"Responding to Russian crimes in the face of this aggression exactly in terms of the rule of law and through the power of an international court is what will serve as one of the guarantees of the long-term future security of both Ukrainians and other peoples," Zelenskiy said in his nightly address.
The job of the ICC and Ukraine's own legal system in pursuing justice after Russia launched a full-scale invasion just over a year go isMore than 70,000 alleged war crimes have been reported, the vast majority of which would be dealt with in domestic courts.The ICC in The Hague has jurisdiction to prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide on the territory of Ukraine committed by either side, and is expected to focus on high-profile suspects.
"As a prosecutor we are officers of the court... Whenever we do move, should have confidence that this is not a political process." Evidence gathered so far by Western and Ukrainian authorities, particularly in areas occupied by Russian forces that have been liberated, points to widespread abuses, including torture, execution, forced deportation and sexual violence.Moscow has also accused Ukraine's military of abuses, including killing prisoners of war and shelling civilians in Russian-held territory in the east.
