Those who commit atrocities must be held accountable for their actions. However, many perpetrators have historically enjoyed impunity. This is also a current concern regarding Russian war crimes in Ukraine. There is pressure on the international community to achieve tangible results on accountability. But how can it deliver? What are the most effective ways? And what role can Europe play in ending the age of impunity?
