What does it take to create an international reparations mechanism?
How can individuals and institutions contribute to a future justice process—one claim at a time?
In this latest episode of Lawyering Peace, Markiyan Kliuchkovskyi, Executive Director of the Register of Damage for Ukraine, joins Dr. Paul R. Williams to discuss one of the most innovative legal accountability efforts emerging from Russia’s war of aggression.
The Register of Damage is the first formal step in a broader reparations mechanism, designed to collect and record claims for loss, injury, and damage caused by Russia’s full-scale invasion. Though not a tribunal or fund itself, the Register lays the legal and evidentiary foundation for future restitution—whether through confiscated Russian assets or other funding structures.
Kliuchkovskyi explains how this unique mechanism navigates international legal constraints, anticipates huge numbers of claims, and gives Ukrainians a chance to document the losses they have experienced as a consequence of Russia's war. The conversation explores financing options, political momentum, and how the Register’s growing legitimacy helps to ensure that reparations remain a pillar of any future peace.
🎧 Tune in for a timely discussion on law, justice, and the architecture of accountability after war.
