Malta will join a special international tribunal to prosecute Russian President Vladimir Putin, but this will only take place after the general election according to Times of Malta.Foreign Minister Ian Borg said the decision was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers three weeks ago, but there was not enough time for it to be ratified by parliament before the election was called.Malta is among four EU member states that have not yet signed up to the tribunal, which is intended to prosecute Putin for crimes of aggression in relation to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.The proposed tribunal, based in The Hague, has been described by Ukraine’s foreign minister as a major breakthrough in the pursuit of justice. It has so far gained the support of 36 countries, most of them European.Last June, Borg, in his role as President of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers, presided over the signing of a landmark agreement establishing the tribunal.When contacted, Borg stated that Malta will join the tribunal if the Labour Party is re-elected.The resolution signed on Friday included Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Republic of Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.What do you make of this?•
