UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy will meet with Ukraine’s foreign minister and representatives from 17 other EU countries in Lviv on Friday to confirm support for establishing an International Tribunal for war crimes and aggression.
UK Foreign Minister David Lammy will join his Ukrainian counterpart and 17 other EU foreign ministers in Lviv, western Ukraine, on Friday to back the formation of an international tribunal addressing war crimes and acts of aggression.
“We stand for a just and lasting peace, for a secure Europe, and for accountability and justice,” Lammy said in an official statement.
The tribunal initiative is being spearheaded by the Council of Europe - the continent’s primary human rights institution - which was created in the aftermath of World War Two to uphold the rule of law and human rights.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski confirmed that European leaders would gather in Lviv on May 9.
The announcement follows an informal Gymnich-format meeting of EU foreign ministers in Warsaw, where discussions centered on the pursuit of a just resolution to the ongoing conflict and the importance of accountability for violations of international law.
