Balancing Justice and Peace in Ukraine: Strategies for Accountability.

Gyunduz Mamedov, a former Ukrainian prosecutor, oversaw investigations into Russia's atrocities from 2016 to 2021, including the downing of flight MH17. He advocates for a legal mechanism, most likely a hybrid international court that also involves Ukrainian courts, to punish Russia's top leadership for the crime of aggression, among other things. Mamedov warns against regional solutions and advocates for a court created by the U.N. General Assembly. He also cautions against the lack of coordination between interested parties investigating war crimes in Ukraine.
