The Conference is aimed at ensuring accountability for war crimes committed in Ukraine, according to Hoekstra in his opening speech, \u201cJust like a climate strategy and a Covid strategy, we need an accountability strategy.\u201d\u00a0 Hoekstra continued, \u201cA strategy driven by the universal belief that all of us are protected by law.\u00a0 Ensuring that all roads lead to justice. Now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

ICC Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan called for an \u201coverarching strategy\u201d to coordinate efforts to bring perpetrators of war crimes in Ukraine to justice.\u00a0 Since the beginning of the invasion, his office has applauded international efforts sending prosecutors and investigators to Ukraine.\u00a0 \u201cThe simple truth is that, as we speak, children, women and men, the young and the old are living in terror\u201d said Khan.<\/p>\n

Additional speakers included Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borell, and closing words from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Zelensky\u2019s speech included breaking news in the conflict, \u201cToday in the morning, Russian missiles hit our city of Vinnytsia, an ordinary, peaceful city.\u00a0 Cruise missiles hit two community facilities, houses were destroyed, a medical center was destroyed, cars and trams were on fire. . . This is the act of Russian terror.\u201d<\/p>\n

45 countries at the conference signed a political declaration to work together on investigations into war crimes in Ukraine.\u00a0 International cooperation will help avoid the duplicating investigations, train Ukrainian prosecutors, and expand the forensic teams operating in Ukraine.\u00a0 Additionally, a 20 million euros was pledged to the ICC, the prosecutor general\u2019s office in Ukraine, and United Nations support efforts.<\/p>\n

Among the topics on the agenda are: the principles of complementarity in action; Ensuring evidence collected can be put before courts; and prioritizing the interests and needs of survivors and victims of core international crimes<\/p>\n
