The Convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine is a multilateral international treaty developed under the auspices of the Council of Europe [2] and signed on 16 December 2025 in The Hague, Netherlands by 34 states and the European Union. The convention establishes the International Claims Commission for Ukraine, an independent body tasked with reviewing, assessing and deciding upon compensation claims for damage, loss and injury caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine since 24 February 2022. Council of Europe member states, certain non-member states and the European Union can become a party to the convention, which will enter into force after 25 ratifications and sufficient financial commitments are secured.

The commission will take over the responsibility for the Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which was also established by the Council of Europe.
