The Netherlands decided to host a special tribunal for Ukraine

“If there is a need to create a tribunal, then it can be opened in The Hague”, - NOS quoted Khustra words.

According to the minister, the special tribunal needs "broad international political support and funding". However, such a tribunal should not interfere with the work of the International Criminal Court, which is investigating alleged crimes. It's worth reminding that earlier ICC prosecutor Karim Khan pointed out that the EU plans to create a special tribunal undermine a similar investigation conducted by the ICC in The Hague.

In October, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution declaring the political regime in Russia "terrorist." The document stated the need to create a tribunal. The initiative was also approved by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that Russia be held accountable. According to him, international legal instruments are “not enough for justice” and a “special tribunal” needs to be formed.

In early December, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the start of joint work with European and Ukrainian partners to create a special international tribunal to investigate Moscow's actions in Ukraine, although In October, Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna assured that Paris did not support the idea of creating such a tribunal. At the same time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the start of discussions on the creation of a special international tribunal to investigate Russia's actions in Ukraine. These discussions are already "on the table", the Secretary of State said.
