*Inspirational music plays* 

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,200
We are here today because of
our shared beliefs...

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,360
our belief in justice...

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,800
our belief that
crimes cannot go unpunished.

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,840
It is crystal clear that
there can be no lasting peace...

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,960
without justice.

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:35,800
*Inspirational music continues*

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,960
We must ensure
comprehensive accountability...

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,240
even while the aggression
is still ongoing.

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,000
Mother of all the crimes,

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,600
the crime of aggression...

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,880
will not go unpunished.

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,400
*♫♫*

14
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,480
Weapons give physical protection,

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,240
but it is justice that restores
the sense of security to life.

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,640
 I think the Dialogue Group, 
that I will come to in a moment,

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,040
 really was an innovative solution.

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,080
From almost the very beginning
of the full-scale invasion,

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160
one of the most challenging issues
was coordination.

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,600
The Dialogue Group has a potential
to become a solution here too.

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,520
Defeating Russia in the courtrooms
and on the battlefield...

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,040
is the only way
to deliver a just and lasting peace.

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,720
I am happy to announce today...

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,480
that the Netherlands stands ready...

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,040
to host the future compensation mechanism 
here in The Hague.

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,960
Your solidarity with the people
of Ukraine is a beacon of hope...

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,720
in our nation's darkest times.

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,840
Let us move forward
with determination...

29
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:41,520
courage...

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,560
and shared commitment...

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,400
to create a world where impunity
for international crimes...

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,360
are relics of the past.

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,240
The Register of Damage for Ukraine
is vital to achieve that.

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,040
With great pride and an equally
great weight of responsibility...

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,720
I announce that
the Register of Damage for Ukraine...

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,840
 is now open
for submission of claims.

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,800
Already more than 100 claims have been filed.

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,800
And the numbers are rising by the hour.

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,240
The road to accountability
is a long one.

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,480
We have to walk it together.

41
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,480
Only then we can achieve justice...

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,880
and eradicate impunity.

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640
*Applause* 

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,080
*Applause fades*
