The Secretary General of the Council of Europe emphasized the necessity for European nations to commit both financial resources and political support to establish a special tribunal addressing war crimes in Ukraine. Speaking to Euronews, he highlighted the importance of ensuring accountability for violations committed during the conflict.
He called on member states to prioritize funding and cooperation to enable the tribunal’s effective operation, underlining the role of justice in upholding human rights and the rule of law.
**Why this matters**
Creating a dedicated tribunal for war crimes in Ukraine is seen as a crucial step toward delivering justice for victims and deterring future violations. The success of such a tribunal depends heavily on the backing of European countries, both financially and politically, to maintain its independence and effectiveness.
