It requires the international community to make sure that the law is rendered potent.”That stamina will also apply to the pursuing of further charges against Putin and other Kremlin officials and military leaders, he says, which will also require following the evidence.
“I’m going to keep going to the best of my ability with the excellent work of the men and women of my office, with the partnerships we’re building with Ukraine and Canada and many other states, to make sure that the law is felt at this moment of need with greater impact than perhaps people thought was possible.”Khan says successful war crimes prosecutions are typically lengthy, with several years often passing between an indictment and a conviction.
