An international coalition led by Ukraine and its partners has agreed to establish a special tribunal in Luxembourg to investigate and prosecute Russian crimes of aggression against Ukraine. This tribunal is being created because the International Criminal Court (ICC) lacks jurisdiction over Russia and its leaders, including President Vladimir Putin, as neither Russia nor Israel are signatories to the ICC. The new court will complement the ICC's work but specifically address the legal gap concerning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A key issue remains whether Putin and his closest political circle can be held personally accountable due to questions surrounding leadership immunity.

Ukraine launches the process of establishing the Special Tribunal in Luxembourg. The most pressing question if Vladimir Putin and his closest political circle ever be held personally accountable? At the heart of this is the issue of leadership immunity. https://t.co/TENUnAEMgz

Ukraine and Europe will create a special court for Russia, how would it work? This ad hoc court would complement the work already being done by the International Criminal Court of Justice, which has no jurisdiction to prosecute the country for launching the invasion.

A new international tribunal is being established to prosecute the crime of aggression in Ukraine. A new tribunal was needed because the International Criminal Court didn't have jurisdiction over Russian perpetrators such as Putin. https://t.co/sitvcCJndF
