Dmytro Buryak: in Switzerland it was allowed to prosecute those involved in the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine

Date:

On Thursday, March 16, the Swiss parliament approved a draft law that allows prosecution of those involved in the war against Ukraine.

This is reported by UA2DAY with reference to Reuters.

The approval of the bill came hours after a UN investigative body said it had found “reasonable grounds” to conclude that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its attacks on the Armed Forces qualify as acts of aggression.

The crime of aggression is defined as an invasion of another sovereign state or an attempt to establish political and military control over it.

“Switzerland’s acceptance of the crime of aggression into its legislation will allow it to step up its fight against impunity for the most serious crimes under international law,” the parliament said in a statement.

The document was adopted by 127 votes “for” and 53 “against”.

The bill brings Swiss legislation into line with the amendments adopted to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
