Abstract:
On July 3, 2023, Eurojust and the European Commission announced the opening of the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine (ICPA) in the Hague.[1] The European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) is hosting the ICPA. The ICPA will play an important role in investigating Russia’s alleged crime of aggression against Ukraine and facilitate case development for future trials. The Centre will furnish a structure to support and strengthen ongoing and future investigations into the crime of aggression and contribute to the exchange and analysis of evidence collected since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.[2]
