On Wednesday, the Estonian Riigikogu (parliament) approved a significant measure to support international justice by endorsing a partial agreement from the Council of Europe. This agreement facilitates the establishment of an administrative committee for a special tribunal aimed at prosecuting aggression crimes committed against Ukraine. This marks an important step in Estonia's active role in addressing the war crimes associated with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Estonia's legislative decision positions it as the first country to officially back the administrative operations and funding of the tribunal. The endorsement reflects both Estonia's commitment to justice for Ukraine and its broader stance against aggression, highlighting the importance of accountability in international law. The special tribunal is crucial in ensuring that those responsible for crimes against humanity are held to account, thereby serving a dual purpose of justice and deterrence.

This move further solidifies Estonia's proactive engagement in European and global efforts to respond to Russian aggression in Ukraine. By spearheading this initiative, Estonia not only supports Ukraine but also reinforces its own national security interests, emphasizing the need for unity and collective response from the international community against violations of sovereignty and human rights.
