"Earlier this year, the European Union, the Council of Europe, Ukraine and an
international coalition of states agreed to establish a new special tribunal.
The tribunal will eventually be tasked with holding Russia accountable for the
2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It’s expected to start operating in 2026.
Human rights organisations, international lawyers and some (mostly European)
states have long been calling for the establishment of such a tribunal.
Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer, called the
establishment of the tribunal:
an important breakthrough for the international justice community and
especially for the millions of Ukrainians who have been harmed by the
Russian aggression.
However, important questions remain about if it could truly hold senior Russian
officials accountable.
So, how will this new special tribunal work, and will it be effective – or
necessary?"
