“Without aggression, there would be no military crimes committed in Ukraine without this crime,” she said. Callas also stressed that aggression is a “leadership crime”, which provides for the guilt of the country’s leaders.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga, for his part, expressed confidence that the newly created tribunal should also be convicted of the highest leaders of the Russian Federation. “The President of Russia, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia-all of them are international criminals, and the tribunal will make appropriate sentences (regarding these leaders of the Russian Federation) in the future,” he said.
According to Sibiga, there is a legal opportunity to reach these sentences. “The developed formula of work of the tribunal is acceptable for Ukraine,” he said.
Callas also stressed that there was a possibility of sentences before the arrest of Russian Top officials. “Can they be convicted in absentia? Yes it is possible. But there is a restriction as long as they are in office,” she added
“The tribunal will be in the Hague, in the capital of international law and responsibility,” Sibiga added.
Prehistory:
- Kai Callas noted that she hopes for the first decisions of the tribunal in 2026.
