Global coalition forms special tribunal to prosecute Putin

Thirty-six countries have joined a new special tribunal, headquartered in The Hague, to prosecute Vladimir Putin for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. The initiative aims to fill the ICC's jurisdiction gap, with a management committee to oversee budget, internal rules, and prosecutors; trials are likely to be in absentia for leaders while they remain in office, and funding and political hurdles may affect the tribunal's immediate start.

Israel approves live-streamed death-penalty tribunal for Hamas Oct. 7 attackers

Israel’s Knesset approved a livestreamed special tribunal with the power to sentence Palestinians convicted of taking part in Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack, passing 93-0 with 27 absent or abstaining. The court would apply a genocide-law framework and conduct trials in a livestreamed Jerusalem courtroom, a move praised by supporters as delivering justice and criticized by rights groups as undermining due process and turning the proceedings into a spectacle amid ongoing international probes into the Gaza war.

Challenges and Solutions for Ukraine's Postwar Reconstruction and Justice System.

Ukraine has initiated discussions about establishing a special international tribunal to prosecute Russia's aggression against Ukraine, as there is currently no international criminal tribunal to try those responsible for the aggression. The crime of aggression is a leadership crime, and those responsible might include the political and military leaders who were actually involved in taking the tragic decision to use military force against a sovereign country in violation of the UN Charter. The establishment of this special tribunal may seem distant, but it offers a huge opportunity to fulfill the UN Charter’s goal of saving succeeding generations “from the scourge of war.”

The Battle for Bakhmut: Stalemate Continues Between Russian and Ukrainian Forces.

Russian forces continue to attack the Ukrainian towns of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, but are not making progress, according to Ukraine's military. The two towns, along with other communities in the Donetsk region, continue to receive the brunt of Russia's attacks. The military said Ukrainian fighters continued to repel the attacks and Russia was suffering high combat deaths. The situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is described as very dangerous, and the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog is expected to visit the plant on Wednesday. The United States supports the establishment of a special tribunal on the crime of "aggression" against Ukraine.
