💨 Abstract

Some 40 world leaders have backed creating a special international tribunal to prosecute top Russian officials for starting the invasion of Ukraine. The court will tackle "crime of aggression," a charge not pursued by the International Criminal Court due to Russia's non-membership, aiming to target around 20 to 30 high-ranking officials. The tribunal, backed by governments including the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada, seeks to fill gaps in international justice by prosecuting leaders for orchestrating the war.
