Abstract

Abstract This article endeavours to answer whether, in light of the current International Criminal Court’s (ICC) powers, it is possible to hold the Russian Federation accountable for international crimes. The answer hinges on the type of crimes committed, as some (such as the crime of aggression) are considered excluded from the ICC’s jurisdiction. The article also explores alternative methods of holding Russia accountable, such as establishing a special ad hoc tribunal, a topic widely discussed in the European Parliament and culminating in a resolution of 19 January 2023.
