Stalling tactics re international law on crimes of aggression by Russia on Ukraine ..... may have relevance in the Iran case .... it is a strange old world
"International lawyers began discussing the idea of creating a special tribunal for the crime of aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine as early as spring 2022.From the very start of the full-scale war, the global community became convinced that Russia’s attack on Ukraine is a grave violation of international law deserving of punishment – but the existing international law contains no provisions or mechanisms for an investigation that would legally prove the guilt of Russian leaders and bring them to account.
As a result, the leadership of a state that is a permanent member of the UN Security Council could act with impunity and not everyone was comfortable with this precedent.
The discussions on creating the special tribunal were not simple, but in spring 2025 a compromise was finally reached."
