Oleksandra Romantsova - What can International Community do to Hold Russia Accountable for Crimes?
One year after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Nobel
Peace Prize winning organisation Centre for Civil Liberties has
documented more than 30,000 war crimes in the country. Their aim is for
an eventual “Tribunal for Putin” that will hold the criminals
accountable. But how does documenting Russian crimes by the Centre for
Civil Liberties and others help this process? While fighting against
Russian aggression, Ukraine is defending not only its independence, but
European security and the principles of democracy and open society. What
can the international community do to hold Russia accountable? This
interview will explore this vital topic, and how Russia’s versions of
the Nuremberg trials could be established.
