“The official launch of the [centre] is a clear signal that the world is united and unwavering on the path to holding the Russian regime accountable for all its crimes. There is, unfortunately, a gaping hole in accountability for the crime of aggression in the international criminal justice architecture,” said Ukrainian prosecutor general Andriy Kostin.
US assistant attorney general Kenneth Polite Jr said his country would be represented at the ICPA by Jessica Kim, its newly appointed prosecutor for the crime of aggression, who would have “unfettered access to the substantial body of expertise and resources that the [justice] department has amassed in response to Russia’s unlawful war of aggression against Ukraine”.
“In recent years, 700,000 children, fleeing bombing and shelling in conflict areas of Ukraine, have found refuge with us. Many together with their parents, and children from orphanages – with their carers,” Grigory Karasin, head of the international committee in Russia’s upper house of parliament, said on Sunday.
