Two Kripos investigators are to be loaned to the ICC for up to two years. The Norwegian government is pleased that the Norwegian police can contribute to the investigation of possible war crimes in Ukraine before the International Criminal Court. On Tuesday, Mehl met with ICC President Piotr Hofmanski and Attorney General Karim AA Khan QC.

- Norway has been one of the key supporters of the ICC since its inception. I am glad that Norway can contribute to the important work of this court, especially in a period when the investigation into the war in Ukraine requires a lot of money, says the Minister of Justice and Emergency Preparedness, Emilie Enger Mehl.

War crimes in Ukraine

Earlier this year, Norway received a request from the International Criminal Court in The Hague for a contribution in connection with the war in Ukraine. Norway is one of the few countries that believes that war crimes committed in Ukraine should be investigated by the ICC.
