PARIS, 29 April 2022, (TON): The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe demanded the creation of a special international criminal tribunal for Ukraine, while initially designating Russia as guilty even before the creation of such an instance, and also ignoring previous signals about Kyiv’s war crimes in the Donbass.
The organization said in a statement “shaken by the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe called on all member and observer states of the organization to urgently establish an ad hoc international criminal tribunal, which should be mandated to investigate and prosecute criminal aggression allegedly committed by the political and military leadership Russian Federation.”
As noted by PACE, such a tribunal should “have the power to issue international arrest warrants and not be limited to state immunity or immunity of heads of state and government and other public officials.”
The assembly did not explain the mechanism for creating the tribunal.
