This feels like an important step in the right direction even if it takes years to lead anywhere concrete

For those curious who hasn’t signed from the Council of Europe –
“Twelve Council of Europe member states have not yet joined the tribunal agreement, including EU members Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Malta. Others yet to sign on include four Balkan countries – Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Albania – as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.”

This is really reassuring that something concrete has been done in this direction and I hope so much all these criminals in the Russian criminals will pay for all the atrocities they’ve done.
Maybe it’s a naive question, but how realistic is that Putin & Co. will be brought to trial ?
