1:27:54Now PlayingPursuing Accountability for Russian Atrocities and Restoring the Constitutional Rights of the Ukrainian People
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has violated our most fundamental international norms, challenged Ukraine’s sovereignty and subjected its population to mass atrocities. But with support from the United States and like-minded allies, the Ukrainian government has engaged in a coordinated legal challenge to the invasion — contesting its legal basis, collecting and analyzing evidence of crimes committed against civilians, and prosecuting perpetrators of war crimes. Yet, as Russia regroups and adapts its military tactics, there’s still much to be done to repel the invasion, shore up Ukraine’s sovereignty and deliver justice to the Ukrainian people.
On June 28, USIP and the Ukrainian Embassy held a discussion of ongoing legal efforts to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and deliver justice for the Ukrainian people. This event marked the celebration of Ukrainian Constitution Day, which commemorates the signing of the country’s constitution in 1996. USIP experts and Ukrainian officials were joined by U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice Beth Van Schaack to discuss ways the United States and like-minded actors have supported Ukraine in holding Russia accountable.
