ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said that the International Criminal Court was “working toward opening an office in Kyiv” to support the investigations. The ICC has already deployed a team of 42 investigators, forensic experts and support personnel to Ukraine, the largest in the organization’s history.
He also said teamwork underscored the international community’s commitment to the rule of law.
“I think it shows that there is this common front of legality that is absolutely essential, not just for Ukraine but for the continuation of peace and security all over the world.”
Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia signed an agreement during a two-day coordination meeting to join Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine in the Joint Investigation Team that will help coordinate the sharing of evidence of atrocities committed in Ukraine through Eurojust.
In addition, the ICC prosecutor stressed that the investigation should use technology, artificial intelligence, and everything possible to have conclusive evidence.
