| description | The article examines the issue of bringing russia to justice for mass war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of aggression committed during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The purpose of the work is to analyse the available legal instruments, to formulate a comprehensive approach to solving this problem and to search for effective information and legal mechanisms to ensure the inevitability of russia's punishment under international law.
The research methodology is based on a systematic analysis of current international legal norms and procedures in the field of international humanitarian law. The relevance of the work is due to the unprecedented scale of war crimes committed by russia in Ukraine and the need to bring the perpetrators to justice in order to restore justice. The scientific novelty is that for the first time a comprehensive information and legal model for prosecuting and bringing to justice the aggressor state for war crimes is proposed.
The paper analyses the current legal mechanisms for bringing Russia to justice for war crimes committed in Ukraine at the national and international levels. The practical role of the key institutions – the International Criminal Court and the European Court of Human Rights – in ensuring the inevitability of punishment for the russian federation is considered. Potential opportunities for russia to avoid responsibility are identified. The article proposes an information and legal model for the effective prosecution and bringing russia to justice for its act of aggression against Ukraine.
The results obtained can be applied in the field of international criminal law and ensure compliance with international humanitarian law norms. The practical significance lies in the formation of a basis for specific actions by the international community to hold russia accountable for crimes in Ukraine.
Despite all the difficulties, the international community should make every effort to bring the russian federation to justice in accordance with international law. The proposed information and legal model can be one of the effective tools to achieve this goal. |
