Ukrainian parliament ratified the Rome Statute on 21 August 2024, although some MPs claimed that soldiers allegedly had concerns about its ratification.
After two decades of hesitation, Ukraine has finally ratified the Rome Statute, potentially unleashing a flood of war crime prosecutions against Russian perpetrators in the International Criminal Court.
Ukraine signed the Statute in 2000, but until today, it hasn't been ratified by the Parliament. The ratification will allow Ukraine to play a role in shaping the International Criminal Court, including the election of judges.
