“We are here not only to support the efforts of the JIT (Joint Investigation Team on Russian war crimes in Ukraine) but also to emphasize that we need to create a special tribunal on crimes of aggression,” the minister announced.
Bodnar took part in the “United for Justice. United for Heritage” conference in Kyiv, where he spoke about supporting the JIT and the need for a special tribunal.
“My goal is also to reiterate why the existence of such a court is an important element in terms of international accountability,” he stated.
“We want to support international advocacy for the establishment of a court for crimes of aggression, and we are ready to make every effort in cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC),” he stressed.
The minister also recalled that Poland is home to tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees who can testify as part of the investigation against the Russian Federation for crimes committed in Ukraine.
