Since February 2022, Ukraine has fought Russia tirelessly on the battlefield - and in courtroom. But has this "lawfare" been successful?

"There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity" writes @kelly_zvobgo. "If Duterte’s case is any indication, a leader’s streak of avoiding accountability can run out."
