Kyiv, Dec. 17 -- A convention setting up an International Claims Commission for Ukraine was adopted yesterday. Thirty-five countries, along with the European Union, signed the convention to formally launch the commission to address compensation for damage caused to Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
"This convention is open to every state, all around the world, on an equal footing," Alain Berset, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, said at the conference. The convention will enter into force once it has been ratified by 25 signatories, provided sufficient funds have been secured to support its initial work, the Council of Europe said.
