Helsinki District Court has sentenced Voislav Torden, 38, to life in prison for war crimes committed in Ukraine in 2014. Torden was convicted on four counts of war crimes, while one charge was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The court found that he led a military unit that ambushed Ukrainian soldiers and executed at least one wounded prisoner. The act was deemed equivalent to murder due to its brutality, warranting a life sentence.
How does this work legally? The crimes were committed in Ukraine. Wouldn’t this be a case for the ICC or something?
