Christian Caryl: on trial? It’s not as far-fetched as you might think.

"Why is [a special tribunal] important? Geoffrey Nice, a British lawyer who led the prosecution of ex-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic during his trial for war crimes early in the century, put it to me starkly: The primary point of any accountability process is deterrence. We need to dissuade future leaders from thinking they can get away with this. And if that’s the case, he said, the sooner we start, the better. He also noted that Putin doesn’t have to be in custody for a trial to go ahead; he can be tried in absentia."

For the first time, Annalena Baerbock clearly stated her support for a for the against .

Very positive, that she links her support to a reform of the 's curtailed jurisdictional regime on . is in a better position to take the lead here compared to or who sabotaged the ICC's juristiction in Kampala.

But, many questions regarding the & of such a tribunal remain.

Few questions on the proposal to create a for the committed by against

1. Some EU countries that intentionally limited the 's jurisdiction over aggression, now support such a tribunal ().

2. Is the EU convinced that at least some (high-ranking) Russian officials will stand trial to justify the expenses?

3. How will they counter the impression that crimes commited in deserve more attention/resources than elsewhere?
