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

<p>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.<br />Oleksandra Romantsova

is a Human rights activist, and since May 2014 has been working at the

Centre for Civil Liberties. As Executive Director, she learned that the

Centre for Civil Liberties had become the Nobel Peace Prize laureate for

2022. From 2016 she coordinated a project observing the human rights

violations and war crimes in the east of Ukraine, and political

persecution in occupied Crimea. As a leading figure within the Centre

for Civil Liberties she has been actively engaged in advocacy, seeking

international support for Ukraine and to bring those responsible for war

crimes in Ukraine to justice. </p>
