Rome Statute | Ukraine Feed

Due to the spread of fakes about the Rome Statute, Ukraine had to make a compromise decision during its ratification.

Ukraine's ratification of the Rome Statute will give the country the opportunity to influence the drafting of amendments to the Statute, related to the creation of a tribunal and bringing Russian war criminals to justice.

By ratifying the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Ukraine took an important step on the way to joining the European Union.

The ratification of the Rome Statute is in Ukraine's national interest, as the International Criminal Court established by this document is one of the few international legal mechanisms capable of bringing Vladimir Putin and other Russian war criminals to justice.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has registered in the Verkhovna Rada a bill on the ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and its amendments.

Ukraine has resumed work on the ratification of the Rome Statute and plans to complete this process by the end of 2024.

Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (VRU) calls on the Rome Statute parties to take measures to implement the International Criminal Court (ICC) decision. The latter is to issue an arrest warrant for Putin and Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova.
