One year of full-scale war against Ukraine: is justice possible?

One year after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Nobel Peace Prize winning organisation Center for Civil Liberties has documented more than 30,000 war crimes in the country. Their aim is a “Tribunal for Putin” that will hold the perpetrators accountable.

Earlier this month, The European Commission decided to establish an international center in The Hauge, to enable the prosecution of war crimes committed by Russia during the war against Ukraine.

How can documentation gathered by CCL and others help this process?While fighting against Russian aggression, Ukraine defends not only its independence, but European security. What can the international community do to hold Russia accountable?

In an event co-hosted by the Embassy of Ukraine in Norway and Nobel Peace Center, Oleksandra Romantsova from CCL will talk about their work with documenting war crimes and take part in a conversation with political leaders and experts. (names TBD)
