“Ukraine must have appropriate instruments to receive compensation for the damage inflicted upon the country and its people as a result of this unjust war,” said Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili in The Hague at the Adoption of the Convention Establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine.

According to the FM, Georgia, as a founding member of the Register of Damage, welcomes this next step toward establishing the International Claims Commission.

“The struggle of the Ukrainian people to defend their country cannot leave us indifferent. The tragic reality we are witnessing today in the heart of Europe requires greater efforts to restore peace in the region. Blatant violations of international norms must not go unanswered. We have gathered here today to take yet another step, on behalf of the international community, toward establishing the necessary legal mechanisms.

Ukraine must have appropriate instruments to receive compensation for the damage inflicted upon the country and its people as a result of this unjust war. Georgia, as a founding member of the Register of Damage, welcomes this next step toward establishing the International Claims Commission,” she said.
