This blog post discusses a proposal for the establishment of a High War Crimes Court in Ukraine. To facilitate fair and effective accountability for the atrocity crimes committed in Ukraine, PILPG, together with Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and jurists and legal experts from Ukraine, prepared draft legislation for a High War Crimes Court for Ukraine to prosecute atrocity crimes. Drawn from the Law on the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine of 2019 and best practices of internationalized domestic war crimes courts around the globe, this draft Law provides the template for a Ukrainian High War Crimes Court to prosecute atrocity crimes committed in Ukraine since November 2013.
