Парламент Естонії ратифікував конвенцію про комісію щодо репарацій для України

On March 11, the Estonian Parliament, Riigikogu, approved a law ratifying the convention to establish an international commission for assessing claims for damages to Ukraine. **Source:** "" referencing **Details:** A total of 68 Riigikogu members voted in favor of the ratification, with no votes against or abstentions. According to Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, the establishment of the commission marks a significant step towards holding Russia accountable. “Russia's aggression violates international norms every day,” remarked Tsahkna. “The victims of the military machine include the Ukrainian people, cities, infrastructure, and the natural environment. The compensation commission, alongside the existing Damage Register, will ensure that impunity does not take root and that all committed crimes are justly compensated.” The minister added that the next and most challenging step is to find practical and internationally applicable solutions that will enable the commission to effectively disburse compensations. “Ukraine deserves fair compensation for all the damage incurred—not only for the restoration of its people and economy but also for the natural environment. Thus, it is crucial for the convention to gain as wide international support as possible, and for allied countries to collaboratively invest in creating the necessary mechanisms," Tsahkna stated. "The development of a compensation mechanism concerns not only Ukraine but also the credibility of the entire world that upholds international order." **Background:** - In February, the Damage Register began accepting claims resulting from Russian aggression. - In 2023, it was launched under the auspices of the Council of Europe, serving as the first component of an international compensation mechanism for Ukraine. - In December, a convention was signed to facilitate reparations for Ukrainians for losses and damages caused by Russian aggression.
