Ukraine’s parliament voted overwhelmingly to ratify the Rome Statute, representing a significant step toward joining the International Criminal Court (ICC), which aims to prosecute war crimes.
The ICC has already issued arrest warrants for top Russian officials in connection with alleged war crimes in Ukraine, demonstrating its commitment to accountability.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized that Ukraine's ratification of the Rome Statute enhances its capability to pursue accountability for Russian atrocities.
By ratifying the Rome Statute, Ukraine aims to align more closely with European Union standards, as EU member states are all ICC signatories, enhancing its EU aspirations.
