A resolution calling on the President to support the creation of an international special tribunal to prosecute Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
SRES 227 is a Senate resolution calling on the President to support creating an international special tribunal to prosecute Russia for its aggression against Ukraine. It urges the U.S. government to advocate for this tribunal through the United Nations, specifically by supporting a UN General Assembly resolution to establish it. The resolution specifies that the tribunal should work alongside the International Criminal Court (ICC), which already handles war crimes in Ukraine but lacks jurisdiction over Russia's invasion under current agreements. The resolution is directed at the President and U.S. representatives in international bodies, asking them to use U.S. influence to advance this effort.
