I bring it up today because an entire section of it deals with accountability. That's a common thread running though all three of the reports that we're debating. More specifically, our security agreement with Ukraine states that we'll continue to engage in the Core Group to examine options for establishing a special tribunal on the crime of... 25/06/2024 | 19:05:02 "Thank you, Madam President.
