International discussions are advancing regarding the establishment of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian political and military leaders, including President Vladimir Putin, for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. Because the International Criminal Court faces jurisdictional limitations regarding the crime of aggression without a United Nations Security Council referral, international partners are pursuing an alternative legal framework. The proposed tribunal focuses on holding high-ranking officials legally accountable for the decision to launch the invasion.
- International legal bodies and partner nations are working on plans to establish a special tribunal to address the crime of aggression committed against Ukraine.
- The International Criminal Court cannot prosecute Russian leadership for the crime of aggression because Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute and holds veto power on the UN Security Council.
- The tribunal specifically seeks to hold senior political and military decision-makers accountable for initiating and directing the conflict.
- Options under consideration include a standalone international tribunal endorsed by the UN General Assembly or a hybrid court rooted in the Ukrainian judicial system with international backing.
- Significant legal hurdles remain, particularly regarding the issue of head-of-state immunity under customary international law for sitting leaders.

When they talk like this, you know they have lost the war, and so are staking claims of moral superiority.
it is like the Europeans pretending they will force Russia to pay reparations at the end of the war.
I expect a more relevant content from the mainstream media
These are clearly people who wants no peace, absolutely bizzare
Berlin is a great city, I would agree. Museums and memorials are top notch!
What would you expect from Special Tribunal against Russian leadership?
Dr Vojislav Seselj and Slobodan Milosevic put ICC institution on the shame, and debunked the all false accusations
you can watch the whole process on YT and see for yourself
both defended themselves without any their lawyers in couurt rooms
Dr Vojislav Seselj is only sentenced for disrespecting court and ICC institution
Slobodan Milosevic was never sentenced and died (killed) in the prison as innocent man when was his turn to call witnesses such Bill Clinton and bunch of top high grade western official
ICC is ridiculed long time ago pretending to have some purpose of "justice"
nepomenici uma ogubana
By this logic almost all World Leaders can be prosecuted. 🤔🙄
Is ICC supported by germany's master USA?
The entire western leadership should be put in front of a tribunal Nuremberg style for crimes against humanity.
Bad idea
What a shame… Hypocrisy is also ashmed of willful blindness by DW about the western atrocities in both Middle East and Africa.
What about a tribunal for Netanyahu for mass genocide? You can’t be hypocritical just because they’re political opponents. Wrong is wrong.
Tanks for important news. It is heartwarming to hear about the new special tribunal for the prosecution of the Russian leaders for invading Ukraine and the grusomme atrocities committed there. Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦🩷🇺🇦
Off the record ?
This " off the record part " is actually a very important segment as it clarifies the reality of this situation including the ambivalent role of the USA .

Are you trying the people who instigated the coup in Kiev. Are you trying Poroshenko who sent his armies against his own people in the Donbass. Are you trying Zelenski and his fasacist armies for their crimes in Mariupol, in the Kursk ? Ary you trying those Far Right Ukrainians who burnt people alive in the Workers' House in Odessa ? Are you doing the same for the Israeli government ? Are you trying Trump and his admisnistration for his aggression in Iran, Obama & Victoria Newland for orchestrating the coup in Kiev, George W Bush fand Tony Blaire for their aggression and invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan ? If you do all this we would believe you . If you do not, then you are not credible and are yourselves accomplices in all these war crimes ….
The whataboutism in the comment section is wild. 🤣🤣🤣
I do not know why these policy makers in the pro war countries are still day dreaming. Why don't they put up a special tribunal to try themselves on the crimes of colonialism, exploitation and threatening Russian security.
The World needs to create another Tribunal to try the crimes of the EU, UK and [present] Ukrainian leadership for their crimes …. when you do this people will start to believe in you
Russia would lose the war against Ukraine if China did not support Russia.
Based on EU's asylum pact Regulations etc, should leaders and judiciary of EU & EU member states be tried based on NUREMBERG MILITARY TRIBUNAL JUDGES TRIAL JUDGMENTS?
SEE:
The United States of America vs. Josef Altstötter, et al.
Dates: March 5 to December 4, 1947.
Defendants: 16 German jurists, lawyers, prosecutors, and Ministry of Justice officials.
DW's obsession with Russia is becoming fascinating.
Someone needs to do some studies on that😂😂😂
Stupidest thing ever.
😅😂😂😂 yeah , good luck with that , I'd be careful, Russia might just reciprocate and aresst Russian aggressors , I'd be worried if I was a Ukrainian or European/American corrupt, political warmonger , you're not untouchables like you think you are , you might even be detained by your own people for treason yet 😅😂😂😂 , you're all guilty and most the people don't support you at all 😂😂😂 in any way shape or form, as you're finding out now , we are taking affirmation action to remove every last one of you by ballot box 😂😂😂 we do not support the Ethno Nationalists you fund with our taxes and never will 😉
Joke😂😂😂😂
Putin is never going to set foot in Europe so it's kind of pointless
Do the Russians have courts to go to ? Or the system is designed or only certain groups of people.
What about bibi and zelenki???

😂 Ha ha ha 😂 What a funny show 🎉 Russia is not Serbia. Second: What about Trump and Netanyahu?
Playing games with Putin? Good luck, he already seen it coming months in advance.
Sad true is that Putin will exit from Kremlin only in coffin.
