Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha Just now, in The Hague, together with 34 states and the European Union, upon the directions of President @ZelenskyyUa I had an honour to sign the @coe Convention Establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine. 35 is the record number of states. This historic step brings justice closer to the victims of Russia’s aggression and reinforces accountability as a shared international responsibility. Russia’s war of aggression has caused massive damage, loss, and human suffering. The Commission builds on the already functioning Register of Damage @RD4U_claims and moves the process from documenting the damage to examining claims on the merits and determining concrete amounts of compensation for those affected. The Commission is the third fundamental pillar of accountability infrastructure, along with the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine and the Register of Damage. The principle is clear: the aggressor must pay. And the real peace for Ukraine must include accountability for Russian crimes. I am grateful to all partner states, the European Union @EUCssrMcGrath @kajakallas , and Secretary General @alain_berset for making this step possible. I also thank the Netherlands and especially @MinPres and @ministerBZ for their steadfast support and for hosting the International Claims Commission, and President Zelenskyy for his leadership in advancing justice for Ukraine and our people. I am also grateful to Ukraine’s great Legal Team, including @IrynaRMudra and @APUkraine , @MFA_Ukraine team, State Secretary Oleksandr Karasevych, Anton Korynevych, and Mykola Yurlov.
