Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many countries opened investigations under the principle of universal jurisdiction for crimes committed in the context of the war. However, three years on, the potential of this justice mechanism is progressing at a slow pace.

📣 Ukraine must ratify the #RomeStatute NOW – JOIN THE STATEMENT

There are no real obstacles, yet each day of stalling takes victims even further away from justice.

Today, Russia launched 80+ missiles and drones targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Trypilska Thermal Power Plant – major plant in Kyiv oblast – is destroyed completely, many other facilities are damaged. We must ensure an adequate int-l justice response. @IntlCrimCourt

[ULAG @ULAGroup]

🧵Almost 10 years since the start of the armed conflict in Crimea and eastern Ukraine , and 2 years since its escalation to the full-scale invasion, it is the time to do justice and accountability stock taking.

"A web of comprehensive accountability" is not comprehensive if it leaves a ton of grave crimes, that will not be prosecuted effectively or picked by the #ICC or #UJ, out of scope
🇺🇦 needs a special court with mandate for all grave crimes

Why so? 🧵Check out the tweets below 👇

Non-ratification of the #RomeStatute — result of lack of political will. Int-l partners should be more assertive about the issue with the 🇺🇦 gov-t, to make it possible.

🇦🇲 ratifies #RomeStatute, despite all the odds and fluctuations related to 🇷🇺 being a hostile neighbor, that 🇦🇲 highly depends on and is affected by.

Strong and universal @IntlCrimCourt should be in the prime of 🇺🇦 interests. So what are we waiting for?

Довгоочікувана штука, сподіваюсь, що реально допоможе і будемо вдосконалювати разом на практиці.

Members of @TDF_UA can document #IHL violations, when others can’t.

w/ TDF Working Group on IHL and legal aid, @AzonesLaw we drafted 🖼️ guidelines to help them do it in compliance with 🌐 standards.

🙌 It can be relevant for other documenters as well.

[ULAG @ULAGroup]

The @IntlCrimCourt should become more adaptable to the long-standing challenges it faces, such as lack of resources, while the latter is yet to be probably addressed.

This would also help make the court more universal. #Ukraine should join the cause and #RatifyRomeStatute.

[ULAG @ULAGroup]

A lot of insights inspired by the training series on IHL implementation run for @NPU_GOV_UA investigators by Alina Pavliuk (@konotop_witch) and @ArieMora!

100+ trainees total so far within a project supported by the @USEmbassyKyiv.

On the 2nd day many of the participants had to miss the sessions. They had to document the mass shelling of Bilopillia and other cities and towns in Sumy region, that happened at night, causing death and damages

A grim reminder of why we all do what we do.

We are now in #Sumy w/ @TDF_UA working group on IHL and legal services for a training session for @NPU_GOV_UA, @ServiceSsu investigators, @prokuratura2115 prosecutors on #IHL implementation in criminal proceedings.

Great two days, if not for just one thing..⤵️

Polls are not the only thing a position in favor of hybrid mech is based on. There’s plenty of arguments in its support.

But at the very least people should stop assuming that everyone in 🇺🇦 supports #CoA tribunal. And the gov-t must stop manipulating with this argument.

[ULAG @ULAGroup]

🧵Monday thread: Ukrainians prefer Special mixed (hybrid) court (63%), that would cover not only crime of aggression, but all grave crimes (96%), a recent national poll says. (Link below)

Victims of ALL grave crimes deserve Justice. A search for solution must be all-encompassing, holistic and needs-based.

🇺🇦Ukraine will only help prevent future atrocities around the🌐world if we #mindtheaccountabilitygap.
