With the UN and the International Criminal Court unable to hold Russia and its leadership accountable for the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, a campaign for an alternative mechanism was needed. Our experts helped drive change by providing strategic counsel to a new independent human rights non-governmental organisation, Justice and Accountability for Ukraine (“JAFUA”), which was established to campaign for a special international tribunal to enable genuine accountability for the crimes of aggression against Ukraine and its people.
Our Impact
- Leveraging our extensive media, political and legal networks, the February 2024 London Conference on the Special Tribunal for Ukraine received more than 140 registrations, including from members of parliament, government officials, diplomats and lawyers.
- At the conference, Labour’s Shadow Europe Minister confirmed a Labour government will back an international tribunal for Ukraine if successful in the upcoming UK General Election.
- Our experts secured more than 40 separate items of media coverage of the conference in Ukrainian and Western news outlets.
Our Role
- FTI Consulting oversaw all stages of the formation of JAFUA, launched the organisation’s social media presence and worked to confirm high-profile lawyers and barristers as leading public supporters of its mission.
- Our experts managed the international campaign for establishing the special tribunal, identifying opportunities, limitations and potential risks.
- In partnership with JAFUA and the Office of the President of Ukraine, our team organised a high-profile conference in London to advance the approach to establishing a special tribunal.
“Working with JAFUA to rally support for the Special Tribunal for Ukraine was fascinating, challenging and immensely rewarding. It was a privilege to be involved in such important work and to support our clients in their mission to secure justice for the people of Ukraine.”
— Bella von Bohlen, Managing Director, FTI Consulting, London
