ICC joins forces with EU for war crimes investigation

The International Criminal Court will join the EU team established last month to investigate allegations of war crimes in Ukraine, Qazet.az reports.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan and the prosecutors general from Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine signed an agreement on Monday for the international war crimes tribunal's first-ever participation in an investigative team, Eurojust said.

A statement by Eurojust, said the collaborative effort would send a clear message that all efforts will be undertaken to gather evidence and bring those responsible to justice.

The International Criminal Court investigates and prosecutes suspected individual war criminals who are not before the courts of individual states.
