It is impossible to bring Putin to justice in the ISS over the attack on Ukraine within the framework of the Rome Statute – Shulyak

However, experts continue to document the crimes of Russians in the Kyiv region, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, as well as the testimonies of victims.

While the Armed Forces are solving its tasks, all human rights activists in one voice speaks of the need for the president to urgently sign a law already ratifying the Rome Statute. You can create numerous special international tribunals, etc., you can listen to our incompetent experts who fear that “when Ukraine ratifies the Rome Statute, Russia will accuse our army of fake accusations.” And you can just understand that ratification is first and foremost an opportunity for Ukraine to influence the administrative and organizational processes within the International Criminal Court.

But even after Bucha and Irpen, Zelensky did not sign the law. The head of the “Servants of the People” Olena Shulyak during an interview with Inna Vedernikova for ZN.UA named the probable reason for the delay.

According to her, today it is important to understand that the Rome Statute has not been ratified in Russia either. Thus, it is impossible to bring Vladimir Putin to justice in the ISS due to the fact of the attack on Ukraine within the framework of the statute. Therefore, this issue needs to be studied.

“Currently, the task is to document as much as possible the crimes of Russians in Kyiv, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, as well as the testimonies of victims. Including those who fled the war abroad. During my recent visit to Estonia, we discussed this issue with parliamentarians. There are many Ukrainians temporarily, and the Prosecutor General's Office and international prosecutors work intensively in Ukraine, and some MPs are members of a number of working groups involved in documenting war crimes. to Putin, should be punished “, – Shulyak noted.
