Thaçi Given 25-Year Sentence for War Crimes by Hague Panel

Kosovo’s former president Hashim Thaçi was convicted by the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague on four counts of war crimes (murder, torture, cruel treatment, arbitrary detention) and sentenced to 25 years, alongside three other ex-KLA leaders: Jakup Krasniqi (25 years), Rexhep Selimi (13 years) and Kadri Veseli (18 years). Four charges of crimes against humanity were rejected. The three-year trial saw all four defendants plead not guilty, with appeals possible; the court stressed the case was about war crimes during Kosovo’s independence struggle, not the legitimacy of the KLA.

Zelensky advocates for justice at The Hague and ICC meetings.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be brought to justice for his war in Ukraine and for the creation of a special tribunal dedicated to judging Russia's invasion. Zelenskiy's call comes after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin for suspected deportation of children from Ukraine, which would be a war crime. However, the ICC does not have jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in Ukraine. The European Commission has said it supports the creation of a separate international centre for the prosecution of the crime of aggression in Ukraine, that would be set up in The Hague.
