Why is this important? russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has caused widespread destruction and suffering for millions of people. Ukrainians are becoming victims of war crimes, including murder, illegal detention, deportation, torture, and property destruction every day. In response to these challenges, the International Register of Damage was created. This mechanism is designed to record the damage caused by the war and will serve as the basis for a future compensation system. The Register of damage caused by the aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, established in The Hague under the auspices of the Council of Europe in 2023, is the first step towards a comprehensive international compensation mechanism. |
