MEPs are quiz Commission representatives on the prospects of establishing a tribunal on the crime of aggression against Ukraine. The plenary debate is set to echo the demands of a Parliament resolution adopted in May 2022, in which MEPs called on the EU to take all necessary action in international proceedings and courts to support the prosecution of the Russian and Belarussian regimes for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. All Russian armed forces personnel and government officials involved in war crimes should be subject to investigation and prosecution. Opening statement by Didier REYNDERS, European Commissioner for Justice.
