BERLIN - Germany’s prosecutor-general said on Sunday that his office had collected “hundreds” of pieces of evidence showing war crimes by Russian forces in Ukraine, as he called for an international effort to bring leaders to justice.
Mr Frank’s office has previously used the principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows the prosecution of certain grave crimes regardless of where they took place, to try Syrians over atrocities committed during the country’s civil war. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in January called for a tribunal to get around the fact that the International Criminal Court , despite launching it own investigation in 2022, cannot prosecute Russia for any possible war crimes since neither Russia nor Ukraine are members of the Hague-based court.
