New White Paper: Prosecution of Russian Corporations for War Crimes in Ukraine as a Precursor to Seizure of Frozen Corporate Assets in Foreign Jurisdictions

Federica D’Alessandra, Deputy Director of ELAC, co-authored a new white paper, Prosecution of Russian Corporations for War Crimes in Ukraine as a Precursor to Seizure of Frozen Corporate Assets in Foreign Jurisdictions. The paper was published by the Public International Law & Policy Group (PILPG) and develops a legal framework whereby foreign courts may satisfy financial awards by Ukrainian courts against Russian corporations when judgment is rendered against that corporation in either a criminal prosecution or a civil action alleging support of, complicity in, or aiding and abetting the commission of war crimes or other atrocities in Ukraine. The paper serves as a legal process-focused companion piece to white papers developed by the PILPG on Russian Frozen Assets.
