To Launch War Crimes Tribunal To Investigate Russian Federation’s Invasion of Ukraine By Jennifer Andrus July 19, 2022 New York State Bar Association Urges U.N. To Launch War Crimes Tribunal To Investigate Russian Federation’s Invasion of Ukraine 7.19.2022 By Jennifer Andrus 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 U.N. to investigate 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. With tensions growing between Russia and Ukraine in late 2021, the New York State Bar Association established a Ukraine chapter, partnering with the Ukrainian Bar Association. Early this year, the association’s International Section launched a task force to help collect evidence of war crimes, assist refugees, provide humanitarian relief and aid displaced lawyers. “Every lawyer in the United States and around the globe has a stake in making sure that the rule of law is upheld in Ukraine,” said Scott M. Karson, a past president of the association and co-chair of the Ukraine Task Force along with Serhiy Hoshovsky and Ed Lenci. “We must hold leaders and soldiers accountable for war crimes.” Anna Orgenchuk, chair of NYSBA’s Ukraine chapter and president of the Ukrainian Bar Association, has seen the devastating impact of the invasion on her homeland. “This is one of the challenges we as international lawyers encounter — to leave no immoral and unlawful deed legally unpunished,” Orgenchuk said. “With the support of NYSBA experts, we believe we can show to international judicial institutions the scale and depth of Russia’s crimes in Ukraine. I strongly believe that the future of not only Ukraine but of Western civilization depends on our success in bringing perpetrators to justice.” The New York State Bar Association has a long history of standing up for the rule of law both in the United States and internationally. In 1896, the association proposed the creation of a global court to settle disputes among nations. That court is now called the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague. In 1992, the association called for the creation of the International Criminal Court, which was established in 1998. Its purpose is to investigate and prosecute war criminals. The court prosecuted leaders from 17 nations including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Darfur, Sudan and Uganda. About the New York State Bar Association The New York State Bar Association is the largest voluntary state bar association in the nation. Since 1876, NYSBA has helped shape the development of law, educated and informed the legal profession and the public, and championed the rights of New Yorkers through advocacy and guidance in our communities. ### Share & Print Copy Direct Link SourceCopy Link Tags INTERNATIONAL SECTION UNITED NATIONS Related Articles Helen Naves_675 June 17 ▪ Latest News New Membership Committee Co-Chair Helen Naves Wants To Build Connections Yonit_Calmanovich_lawyer_675 June 5 ▪ Latest News Yonit Calmanovich To Start Tenure As Israel Chapter Co-Chair of the New York State Bar Association’s International Section Navigating the Final Frontier_675 November 1 ▪ Latest News Space Law: Expanding To Cover the Moon, the Stars and Beyond Six diverse people sitting holding signs Join NYSBA Join Now My NYSBA Account Sign In Subscribe for Updates from NYSBA Subscribe © 2025 New York State Bar Association Phone: 518-463-3200 1 Elk Street, Albany, NY 12207 footer-logo Contact Us Careers NYSBA Staff Advertising and Sponsorship Opportunities New York Bar Foundation NYSBA Code of Conduct Privacy Policy Terms of Use NYSBA.org Accessibility Statement Supported Languages

*,:,6. And give not to the foolish your property which Allah has made for you a means of support; but feed them therewith and clothe them and speak to them words of kind advice. *,:, 6. Do not hand over the charge of property belonging to you which Allah has made for you as a means of support, to those who are mentally incapable of managing it properly. So feed them therewith and clothe them properly and speak kindly to them. Note: Here the society is addressed as a whole while the property in question is not national property but belongs to the orphans whose number grows exceedingly large during wars. Obviously a considerable part of national wealth will be involved in such exceptional circumstances. Tf a nation as a whole docs not take care of such property and leaves it entirely to the care of children, inexperienced and incapable of handling their wealth sensibly, this is bound to adversely influence the entire national economy. To resolve this problem the nation is addressed as a whole and made responsible for the proper care of the properly in question as if it belonged to them. It docs not mean, however, that such orphans will be disinherited or dispossessed of their individual rights permanently. The following verse and the verse 11 make the real import of this verse abundantly clear.

,:,4. And if you fear that you, the society, may fail to do justice in matters concerning orphans in the aftermath of war then marry women of your choice two or three or four. And if you fear you will not deal justly, then marry only one or what your right hands possess. That is the nearest way for you to avoid injustice.
