SUMMARY:Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression: Delivering Justice and Protecting Human Rights Rights in the Context of Russia’s War Against Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Side Event at the 59th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council \nDate and time: 4 July 2025\, 12:00–13:00 CET\nVenue: In person at Room XXIV\, Palais des Nations\nOrganisers: Permanent Missions of Ukraine\, Latvia\, Liechtenstein\, Lithuania\, Luxembourg\, the Netherlands\, International Bar Association\, International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute\, No Peace Without Justice \nBackground information\nThe ongoing full-scale war of aggression launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022 has resulted in widespread and systematic violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. Atrocities committed against civilians – including war crimes\, crimes against humanity\, and unlawful deportations\, have emphasized the urgent need for justice and accountability. The crime of aggression\, as the leadership crime and the source of other international crimes committed in this context\, must not go unpunished.\nUkraine\, together with an expanding coalition of states and international legal experts\, has been actively advocating for the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression. On 25 June 2025\, an important step was taken with the signing of the Agreement on the Establishment of the Special Tribunal. This landmark development demonstrates significant momentum towards ensuring justice for the victims of Russia’s aggression and reinforcing the global framework for accountability.\nThe discussion will focus on how the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine can effectively deliver justice\, secure accountability\, and contribute to the protection of human rights in response to Russia’s war against Ukraine. \nObjectives of the Event\n• Present recent developments regarding the creation of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.\n• Highlight the link between the crime of aggression and widespread human rights violations\, emphasizing the need for international legal mechanisms to hold perpetrators accountable.\n• Provide a platform for legal experts\, government representatives\, and civil society to exchange views on how the Tribunal can effectively deliver justice and accountability.\n• Mobilize further support from UN member states\, international organizations\, and human rights defenders for the Tribunal and its mission. \nAgenda \nModerator: Mr. Niccolò Figà Talamanca\, Secretary General of No Peace Without Justice\nOpening remarks: H.E.

SUMMARY:Join us in Rome to celebrate International Justice Day and express our continued support to the ICC
DESCRIPTION:No Peace Without Justice together with Eumans\, Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC)\, Alza Vita\, Refugees in Libya and Associazione Cristiana degli Ucraini in Italia invite you to join them in celebrating International Justice Day on 17 July\, from 19:00 to 21:00\, in Piazzale Ugo La Malfa\, Rome\, near the historic birthplace of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. \nAlongside victims groups\, civil society organisations\, activists\, and concerned citizens\, this joint celebration would be a meaningful expression of continued support for the ICC—at a time when its independence and authority are facing unprecedented challenges. \nCivil society played a crucial role in the successful conclusion of the Diplomatic Conference on 17 July 1998 and the adoption of the Rome Statute\, not only in shaping its content over five weeks of intense and often gruelling negotiations\, but also in rallying governments in the final hours to bridge the last divides and bring the Court to life. \nThe result was a groundbreaking system of international justice\, with the ICC at its core: a framework designed to confront impunity\, secure redress for victims\, and affirm that even the most powerful can be held to account under the law. \nTwenty-seven years later\, that promise remains unfinished. Turning it into a lasting reality requires action on multiple fronts: first by pressing national justice systems to fulfil their complementary obligations to investigate and prosecute Rome Statute Crimes and by ensuring that the ICC is equipped to act when they do not. But today the foundation must be protected: the Court’s ability to operate independently and impartially. Today\, that very foundation is under sustained attack by those determined to discredit the idea that the law should stand above the power of the gun. \nJoin us in Rome so that together we can reaffirm the global commitment to justice\, accountability\, and the rights of victims.
