The Hague March 1 2022: The International Criminal Court will open an investigation into alleged war crime conducted by Russia in Ukraine.
“There is a reasonable basis to believe that both alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Ukraine,” Karim AA Khan, the ICC prosecutor has said.
“It is my intention that this investigation will also encompass any new alleged crimes falling within the jurisdiction of my Office that are committed by any party to the conflict on any part of the territory of Ukraine”.
