Event on domestic investigations and prosecutions of international crimes in Ukraine, by Ukraine, featuring Ukrainians. #ASP21 🇺🇦 
Sharp, smart line: “as a country at war, Ukraine doesn’t need the international community to tell us what international standards are, we need them to help us meet those standards.” #ASP21
Really interesting point by Thierry Cruvellier that the history of the war in Ukraine is being written in local courts where war crimes are being prosecuted.
Event on crime of aggression in 🇺🇦.
Liechtenstein’s Christian Wenaweser: it’s time to bring the jurisdiction of the crime in line w the other three core crimes under the Rome Statute.

Just to be clear, Prosecutor spoke of places he had visited and said God willing he would visit Palestine, Afghanistan as well as the Democratic Republic of Congo in the next year. #ASP21

Important: any visit has to push the justice ball forward, not put anyone at risk. #ASP21

3. The letter to Prosecutor highlighted last year's significant missed opportunities to issue statements on the situation in Palestine, citing his office's policy paper providing for deterrent preventive statements that allow his Office to"react promptly to upsurges of violence."
