The initiative emerged from political and legal efforts that gained momentum throughout 2025. Both the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the European Parliament issued resolutions in support of creating such a tribunal, while Ukraine actively engaged partners worldwide to build consensus. A Core Group of around forty states, working together with Ukrainian authorities, the Council of Europe, and the EU\u2019s legal services, prepared the necessary legal instruments. On 25 June 2025, the President of Ukraine and the Secretary General of the Council of Europe signed the bilateral Agreement, thus setting the stage for the Tribunal\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-795x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3885\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7763764372182546;width:387px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-795x1024.jpeg 795w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-233x300.jpeg 233w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-768x989.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-1192x1536.jpeg 1192w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-1590x2048.jpeg 1590w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-150x193.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-300x386.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-696x897.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-1068x1376.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-1920x2473.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-326x420.jpeg 326w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/IMG_7208-scaled.jpeg 1987w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Professor Takayuki Kawase, organizer of the conference together with Susana Sanz.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This new body is intended to prosecute senior political and military leaders responsible for the decision to launch the war of aggression against Ukraine. While the International Criminal Court retains jurisdiction over war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity, it lacks competence over the crime of aggression in this specific case. The Special Tribunal is therefore designed to close this accountability gap, ensuring that the architects of aggression do not enjoy impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tribunal\u2019s significance goes beyond the Ukrainian conflict. <strong>It embodies the essence of the rule of law: the principle that no individual or state stands above legal norms.<\/strong> By criminalising the very act of aggression, it reaffirms that international law is not merely declaratory but enforceable through impartial adjudication. It also enhances the credibility of international legal order by countering the perception of selective enforcement, one of the major critiques directed at international justice mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the creation of the Tribunal illustrates Europe\u2019s ability to adapt its institutional architecture to unforeseen challenges. <strong>It strengthens the key dimensions of the rule of law\u2014legality, accountability, equality before the law, and institutional innovation\u2014while reinforcing Europe\u2019s identity as a community grounded in democracy, human rights, and justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This paper will examine the Tribunal\u2019s mandate, the obstacles faces, and its broader implications. It argues that this initiative not only provides Ukraine with a path to justice but also represents a milestone in consolidating the international rule of law, bridging domestic and international legal orders in the face of aggression.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3889\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1068x801.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-560x420.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-265x198.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3887\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-1068x801.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-560x420.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1-265x198.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/blog.uchceu.es\/rule-of-law-crisis-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-03-27-at-13.03.04-1.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between 27 and 29 March 2026, the IVRJ 2026: The 3rd IVR JAPAN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE was held in Kanazawa (Japan).
