Despite numerous human rights violations in North Korea itself, Kim Jong -in has not yet been transferred to the ISS. However, according to the former chairman of the court, there are now sufficient legal grounds for Ukraine to initiate the case against him for the assistance of Russia in the war.
Direct Hon Language: “It is time to attract Kim Jong -in to the International Criminal Court.”
Details: He also stated that Pyongyang Moscow’s military assistance opened Ukraine with the opportunity to file an official complaint in court as a victim party.
Direct Hon Language: “The Ukrainian authorities, as a victim, have an opportunity to file a complaint against North Korea to the International Criminal Court.”
Details: He added that even in the absence of an appeal, the court has the authority to initiate its own investigation.
Direct Hon Language: “Although the complaint filed by Ukraine would be very ideal, the International Criminal Court also has the power to start an independent investigation.”
Details: The former Ministry of Internal Affairs also noted that the court warrant has no statute of limitations, and his presence creates serious psychological pressure on the accused, actually forbidding him to appear in the territory of 124 member countries of the court.
San Hon’s dream urged the ISS to respond more actively to war crimes committed by the North Korean leadership and their allies.
