KYIV – Ukraine reached another legal breakthrough on the world arena in its efforts to hold Russia accountable for war mongering and human rights abuses in the country when the International Criminal Court (ICC) on December 11 decided to recommend a full-fledged probe.
ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said there was enough evidence to “believe that a broad range of conduct constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity” have occurred and, therefore, warrant further investigation by the court.
