Summary:Resolution adopted by the Council of Europe on 12 May 2023, establishing an Enlarged Partial Agreement on the Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (RD4U). Further information:The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) adopted a Resolution on 14 November 2022 recognising the need for the establishment, in cooperation with Ukraine, of an international mechanism for reparation for damage, loss or injury arising from the acts of the Russian Federation in or against Ukraine and recommending the creation of an international register of damage to serve as a record of evidence and claims information on such damage, loss or injury. That Register was established on 12 May 2023 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. The Register is to serve as a record, in documentary form, of evidence and claims information on damage, loss or injury caused to all natural and legal persons concerned, as well as to Ukraine, caused as from 24 February 2022 in the territory of Ukraine by the Russia's acts in or against Ukraine. The Register’s membership is open to both Council of Europe member and non-member States. On 16 May, the European Union (EU) signed a Declaration in support of the Register and joined the Register as an Associate Member. The EU's Ukraine Facility also included provisions for supporting and enforcing international justice in Ukraine. On 30 May 2024, the European Commission adopted a draft Decision changing the EU's status to Participant, which was adopted by the Council of the European Union on 22 July. As of this date, there are 43 countries participating in the Register, plus the EU and 26 of its Member States. |
