Luxembourg’s foreign minister, Jean Asselborn, stated that the UN has not yet reached a decision on creating an international tribunal for Ukraine. He conveyed this to reporters, via TASS, emphasizing that a special court would take a hybrid form, bringing Ukraine together with participation from other states. The mechanism would require a vote in the UN General Assembly to formalize its establishment.
Didier Reynders, the former European Commissioner for Justice, indicated that EU justice ministers have debated the idea of a Ukraine court, yet the proposal has not found support at the UN level. He noted to reporters that the EU is pursuing alternative pathways to organize such a process. One potential initial step mentioned is the creation of a prosecutor-like body to gather and consolidate evidence.
Reynders also pointed out that ministers discussed paths for prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity as part of broader accountability efforts.
Penny Wong, who leads Australia’s foreign affairs ministry, announced that Australia has joined a coalition urging criminal accountability for Russian authorities. She communicated this stance via her Twitter account, underscoring Canberra’s position on the matter.
