| Abstract [eng] |
Discussions on upholding accountability for the atrocities committed throughout the Russian aggression in Ukraine have been a focal point of discussion from the onset of the conflict, although, a particular path, or a meticulous template to follow in creating a tribunal has not yet been established. This thesis intends to analyze the legal, political, and organizational obstacles that will arise during the creation of such tribunal. The study employs a qualitative and historical comparative approach, analyzing the research problem through an extensive review of literature, scrutinizing norms, examining retrospect and prospect of international tribunals with special regards to the crime of aggression, inspecting challenging precedents, and concurrently drawing parallels to the potential analogies in establishing an International Tribunal for the Crimes of Aggression committed by Russia against Ukraine. Based on the conducted analysis, the thesis suggests that the path to establishing an international tribunal for Ukraine is not only a question of legal mechanics, but a profound exercise in navigating the interstices of international law, diplomacy, and political will. The pursuit of justice through such tribunal, while steeped in legal precedent and international doctrine, is ultimately a reflection of the international community's commitment to accountability and the rule of law. |
