International lawyers have “laid the foundations” for a special tribunal to try Russia for the crime of aggression, the EU has said, hailing a significant step towards holding Vladimir Putin and his top officials accountable for the invasion of Ukraine.

In a statement late on Tuesday, the EU executive declared a breakthrough that it said would mean the Russian political and military leaders “who bear the greatest responsibility” would be held to account.

The tribunal’s creation was initially proposed by Ukraine just days after the full-scale invasion, but for nearly three years lawyers have wrangled over finding the right courtroom.

Any second now, Israel will withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza in compliance with the ICJ ruling deadline of September 2025.

A plane will also shortly be landing in The Hague where Israeli police will hand the suspected war criminals Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant over to Dutch authorities pursuant to the ICC arrest warrant.

One of the handful of times the Zionists haven't lied is when they say international law doesn't matter.

International law is such a fucking joke. Why do they even bother with this performative bs? Stop wasting money on this nonsense.

Most of us are still operating under the assumption that rules still matter, even tho there is proof they don't.

It's hard to turn one's back on order when chaos is screaming in our faces.

Here’s the thing, even when we had order international law was a joke. The only reason laws work within a country is because the state can hold you accountable through violence if necessary. For a country or group of countries to be able to enforce their laws on other countries is through war. If you are not willing to go to war, you should not be engaging in this theater.,

I agree that this will have no real-world effects on Putin, but I do think this is important for the sake of documentation.
