On January 19, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on member states to back the creation of a special international tribunal to judge russian war crimes committed in Ukraine, specifically the crime of aggression. The resolution urged the EU member states to "immediately" prepare for the tribunal's creation in cooperation with Ukraine. 

On January 26, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) unanimously demanded the setting up of a special international criminal tribunal to prosecute russian and belarusian political and military leaders involved in russia's crime of aggression against Ukraine.
