Abstract

Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are working in cooperation with the International Criminal Court - ICC and countries that jointly support the ICC to collect evidence of Russia’s atrocity crimes in order to hold the alleged perpetrators accountable. The collection of evidence in the situation of Ukraine ever turned into an unprecedented investigation of the likely international crimes committed by Russian armed forces in Ukraine. This study aims to determine the fundamental role and significance of the ICC in a collective investigation of the situation in Ukraine. Knowing that the definition of the term “war crimes” does not exist in the current legislation of Ukraine, this study attempts a correlative analysis of the term “war crimes” in the context of international law and finds that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies and institutions are capable of documenting war crimes committed in Ukraine by the Russian Federation. This suggests that the ICC, in comparison to its previous international investigations, definitively has a wide range of support resources to hold accountable “those most responsible“ for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, as emphasized in its prosecutorial policy documents.

评估国际刑事法院在调查乌克兰战争罪中的责任

乌克兰执法机构正与国际刑事法院（ICC）和共同支持国际刑事法院的国家合作，收集俄罗斯暴行的证据，以追究被指控犯罪者的责任。乌克兰局势中的证据收集工作已演变成对俄罗斯武装部队在乌克兰可能犯下的国际罪行进行前所未有的调查。本研究旨在确定国际刑事法院在乌克兰局势集体调查中的基本作用和意义。鉴于乌克兰现行法律中没有 "战争罪 "一词的定义，本研究试图在国际法背景下对 "战争罪 "一词进行相关分析，并发现乌克兰执法机关和机构有能力记录俄罗斯联邦在乌克兰犯下的战争罪。这表明，与以往的国际调查相比，国际刑事法院明确拥有广泛的支持资源，以追究被控战争罪和危害人类罪的 "最大责任人 "的责任，正如其起诉政策文件所强调的那样。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
