A conference is taking place this weekend in Ukraine to facilitate the set up of the International Centre for the Prosecution of Crimes of Aggression (ICPA) against Ukraine.
According to a press release by the European Commission, President of the EU Ursula von der Leyen said that “Russia must be held accountable for its horrific crimes in Ukraine and we must do everything in our power to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
The amended agreement of the existing Joint Investigation Team at Eurojust is being signed at a conference on accountability, which is taking place in Ukraine this weekend in order to facilitate the set up of the ICPA within its structure.
“I am proud that, at this conference, as a first step you will sign the agreement to set up the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression in The Hague. The European Union will continue to work, with our partners, to ensure that Russia pays,” the European Commission’s President said.
