“We have begun working with our European and Ukrainian partners on the proposal to establish a Special Tribunal on Russia’s Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. As Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, has stated, the aim is to obtain the broadest possible consensus on this project among members of the international community,” noted the French Foreign Ministry.
The Ministry reports that France confirmed its desire to strengthen collaboration with Ukraine during the visit of Anton Korynevych, the Special Envoy of Ukraine to France’s Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, on November 29, 2022.
“For France, the fight against impunity for crimes committed in Ukraine following the Russian aggression is a priority. We fully support Ukraine’s judicial system and the International Criminal Court, both of which have jurisdiction to conduct impartial, independent investigations aimed at ensuring accountability for those responsible for such crimes,” explained the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France.
