Suspects of international crimes continue to evade arrest when crossing borders due to gaps in information, coordination, and capacity. So what can civil society do to ensure accountability for the world’s most serious crimes?

REDRESS Trust @redress.org · 30/01/2026

🙌 A legislative win for survivors! The European Parliament, Council, and the European Commission have now explicitly recognised victims of core international crimes in the revised Victims’ Rights Directive. This is a meaningful step toward a more inclusive, survivor-centred approach to justice.

The Convention will assess claims for compensation for damage, loss or injury caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine. Ukrainian survivors are urging States to sign it and to adopt an inclusive, victim-centred approach to reparations that include victims before the 2022 full-scale invasion.

Iryna has spent years fighting for justice for other survivors of conflict-related sexual violence like herself. But a new Convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Russian aggression against Ukraine excludes victims such as herself, who suffered these crimes before 2022. 🧵

For those who have already waited more than a decade for justice, this exclusion is not technical. It is a denial of recognition and dignity. We recently met a group of Ukrainian survivors to discuss the urgent need for comprehensive and inclusive reparation, within the Claims Commission & beyond.

REDRESS Trust @redress.org · 16/12/2025

As States gather for the opening of the Convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine, Ukrainian survivor groups call on States to sign and ratify it, while stressing the need to include victims who were harmed before the full-scale invasion. 🧵
