The Ukrainian foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, is calling for the world to create this new special court and support is growing fast. Massive public backing would give this idea irresistible momentum and it would send Putin and his cronies a powerful message â the world is going to hold you personally to account. This new court is key to defending not just Ukraine but the entire world from an attack that was illegal from the minute it began. Join the global call to prosecute Putinâs crime in a new Nuremberg-style tribunal with one click â and Avaaz will work directly with renowned experts to get this moving: [SIGN NOW]( To World Leaders:As citizens from across the world, we urgently call on you to hold Putin and his accomplices personally accountable for their illegal invasion of Ukraine by creating a new Special Tribunal for the punishment of the crime of aggression. We also call on you to fully support the International Criminal Courtâs separate investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine. There will never be peace without such accountability â we are counting on you. [SIGN NOW]( Potential war crimes, like bombing kindergartens, apartment blocks, and city squares, are already being investigated. That effort needs our wholehearted support but we know too well that it will be complex and time-consuming and, crucially, those prosecutors do not currently have the power to address the crime of aggression. Thatâs a big gap, but we can help close it. Putin and his cronies can be held personally to account for this crime â launching an illegal war upon a peaceful neighbour â right now if the world has the will to set up a new court to prosecute it. Nazi leaders met justice at such a court. Join with one click, and share the call now to create a new Nuremberg-style tribunal to prosecute Putin and his cronies! [SIGN NOW](
Letâs not leave any stones unturned as we bring those responsible for the horrors of war to justice. The unity of Ukraine is unbreakable â its buildings may be crushed to the ground, but not the spirit of its people. Now they are calling for our help. We owe it to them and to the world to say ânever againâ to crimes against peace â letâs do it! With hope, Nick, Laura, Ruth, Ana Paula, Christine and the entire Avaaz team More information:
