As a reminder, on August 21, the Verkhovna Rada passed a law ratifying the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and amendments to it. The Rome Statute will enter into force for Ukraine on the first day of the month following the 60th day after the date of deposit of the instrument of ratification with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The document on the ratification of the Rome Statute stipulates that Ukraine will not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court for War Crimes for 7 years if it concerns Ukrainian citizens.
