Kyiv has called on the U.S. to support a special tribunal that would investigate and try top Russian leadership for war crimes committed in Ukraine.
"Ukraine appeals to you and the United States of America to support our efforts to establish a special tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression," he said in a discussion attended by U.S. think tank officials, top Ukrainian leadership and U.S. Reps. Bill Keating, D-Mass., and Joe Wilson, R-S.C.
Details on what the tribunal would look like remain unclear though reporting last month suggested that the EU has proposed the creation of either an international treaty or a hybrid court that would rely on a nation-based legal system that encompasses international justices.UKRAINE'S ZELENSKYY CALLS FOR 'FAIR TRIBUNAL' IN NUREMBERG-STYLE TRIALS TO HOLD RUSSIA ACCOUNTABLE
Although the U.S. has a complex relationship with the ICC and does not acknowledge its authority over U.S. citizens, Beth Van Schaack, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice, said earlier this week that the U.S. can still aid the court.
