Summary
In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, global focus shifts to holding Russian officials accountable for their crimes. With no current means to enforce accountability for the crime of aggression, the creation of a special international tribunal is a potential option. In the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, the author concludes that two options emerge, namely, a regional solution: a leading role of the Council of Europe in the establishment of an ad hoc international tribunal based on a multilateral treaty; or a tribunal established with a treaty between the UN and Ukraine, initiated by the UN General Assembly. The hybrid tribunal format is discouraged due to potential constitutional problems.
