A Special International Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine

Holding The Kremlin To Account

Event Description:

On January 19th, the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in support of creating an international tribunal to hold the Russian government to account for its invasion of Ukraine and the government of Belarus for supporting Russia’s aggression. Canada and its Baltic allies are among the leading global supporters of Ukraine’s freedom and sovereignty.

The Macdonald-Laurier Institute, in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in Ottawa, and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre For Human Rights will host this international discussion to focus on the need to hold the Russian government to account for its actions and how Ukraine, Canada and its Baltic allies can forge a path towards justice and accountability.
