Introduction
It is a body of legal rules and interrelated principles, standards, conventions and treaties that directs the behavior of states, international organizations and persons around the world. Among them is to address the legal gaps that limit the introduction of international acts in Russian legislation and define violators accountable to the international community based on the rule of law for their actions taken against citizens and the environment.
Accountability and justice are key components of international relations since they create an environment in which the international rightfully holds accountable individuals and actors who perpetrate terrorism and other illicit activities.
Accountability and justice would ensure proper governance and respect to human rights and international law and therefore are important in any community structure especially the international community. If those who commit atrocities against other people lack prosecution, then impunity shall triumph over the nations of the world rendering the internationally recognized rule of law a mere illusion. It is also important to seek to bring perpetrators of international crimes to justice to facilitate the process of accountability where victims and society can seek a form of closure because what happened in the past needs to be prevented in future societies.
