The Biden administration is offering support for the creation of an international court to prosecute alleged crimes of aggression by Russia against Ukraine.

In comments this week, senior U.S. officials said the administration believes that would be the best way to hold Russia accountable for its year-old invasion. However, they also acknowledge that the prospects for a court to actually take custody of any Russian official for trial are slim.

The officials said they envision a hybrid tribunal based on the Ukrainian justice system but with international components -- similar to previous ad hoc war crimes courts set up for Cambodia, Chad, the Central African Republic and Bosnia -- and likely based in The Hague, Netherlands. The Hague will be home to the International Center for Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression, a Ukraine-focused investigations unit that is expected to be fully operational this summer. The centre's offices and staff could be incorporated into whatever tribunal is eventually created, the U.S. officials said.
