Sweden's Accession to Extended Partial Agreement for Special Tribunal for Aggression Against Ukraine Prop. 2025/26:231
Summary
The Swedish Government submitted Proposition 2025/26:231 to the Riksdag on April 17, 2026, requesting approval for Sweden to join the Extended Partial Agreement governing the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine. The Tribunal was established in June 2024 through a bilateral agreement between Ukraine and the Council of Europe. Member states that join the agreement are obligated to pay annual fees through the Council of Europe and gain formal membership in the Tribunal.
“I denna proposition föreslås att riksdagen ska godkänna Sveriges anslutning till den utvidgade partiella överenskommelsen.”
Companies and legal entities engaged in cross-border operations involving Council of Europe member states should monitor whether Sweden's accession influences the Tribunal's operational capacity or financial assessments. The annual fee structure and governance participation may have indirect implications for organizations with compliance interests in international criminal accountability frameworks.

What changed
Sweden is seeking parliamentary approval to formally join the Extended Partial Agreement establishing the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine. The proposition outlines that Sweden has participated in establishing the Tribunal, which operates under the Council of Europe institutional framework. The agreement governs the Tribunal's operations and creates financial obligations for member states through annual fees paid via the Council of Europe.
Member states joining this agreement gain formal membership in the Special Tribunal and accept responsibility for contributing to its operational costs. The Riksdag must approve the proposition before Sweden can become a member. This action reflects Sweden's commitment to international accountability for aggression crimes and positions Sweden within the broader European effort to establish jurisdiction over Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

Sveriges anslutning till den utvidgade partiella överenskommelsen för den särskilda tribunalen för aggressionsbrottet mot Ukraina, Prop 2025/26:231 (pdf 339 kB) För att tribunalen ska bli verksam krävs att stater som vill bli medlemmar ansluter sig till en utvidgad partiell överenskommelse om förvaltningskommittén för tribunalen inom ramen för Europarådets institutionella ramverk.
Överenskommelsen reglerar tribunalens drift och medför en skyldighet för de stater som anslutit sig att betala en årlig avgift genom Europarådet. Genom att ansluta sig till överenskommelsen blir Sverige medlem av tribunalen.
I denna proposition föreslås att riksdagen ska godkänna Sveriges anslutning till den utvidgade partiella överenskommelsen.
