Guatemala to join efforts on establishing Special Tribunal for Russia – FM Kuleba

The Republic of Guatemala will be the first nation of Latin America to join the Core Group on establishing the Special Tribunal for Russia.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Twitter, following his meeting with Guatemalan Foreign Affairs Minister Mario Adolfo Búcaro Flores, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“In New York, I was glad to meet with Guatemalan Foreign Affairs Minister Mario Adolfo Búcaro Flores. Guatemala is our true friend. We discussed joint efforts to hold Russia accountable, including for the crime of aggression. Guatemala will join the Core Group on the Special tribunal, the first nation of Latin America to do so,” Kuleba wrote.

A reminder that, on January 26, 2023, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) unanimously demanded the setting up of a special international criminal tribunal to prosecute Russian and Belarusian political and military leaders involved in Russia’s crime of aggression against Ukraine.
