Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said the Netherlands had offered to host a special tribunal to investigate alleged “Russian crimes” in Ukraine. It has been reported no.
“If there is a need for a court to be established, it can be opened in The Hague,” he said.
According to him, the special court needs broad international support and funding.
Previously reportedThat the Council of the European Union agreed on the written conclusions on the “fight against impunity for crimes” committed during the conflict in Ukraine, but did not mention the court in the text.
In its conclusions, the EU legislature calls on member states to “provide adequate support” for the establishment and operation of special bodies to investigate and prosecute “international crimes” committed during the conflict in Ukraine.
