Oleksandra Romantsova - What can International Community do to Hold Russia Accountable for Crimes?

GUEST: Oleksandra Romantsova - Human rights activist at the Centre for Civil Liberties.
----------

One year after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Nobel Peace Prize winning organisation Centre for Civil Liberties has documented more than 30,000 war crimes in the country. Their aim is for an eventual “Tribunal for Putin” that will hold the criminals accountable. But how does documenting Russian crimes by the Centre for Civil Liberties and others help this process? While fighting against Russian aggression, Ukraine is defending not only its independence, but European security and the principles of democracy and open society. What can the international community do to hold Russia accountable? This interview will explore this vital topic, and how Russia’s versions of the Nuremberg trials could be established.
