The New York State Bar Association is urging the United Nations to
establish a war crimes tribunal to investigate the invasion of Ukraine.

“During our nearly 150-year history, the New York State Bar Association has
been a champion of the rule of law and human rights. We must establish a
tribunal to make certain that justice is served,” said association
President Sherry Levin Wallach.

The association’s Executive Committee, acting on behalf of its governing
body, the House of Delegates, voted today to ask the UN to investigate and
prosecute members of the Russian military and government for violations of
international law including human rights violations, crimes against
humanity and aggression. The tribunal would be similar to the courts that
investigated war crimes in Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Cambodia.
