World Court to hear Russian objections to Ukraine genocide case

THE HAGUE, Sept 17 — Russia and Ukraine will square off before the International Court of Justice today in a case that centres around claims by Moscow that its invasion of Ukraine was done to prevent genocide.

Moscow says Ukraine is using the case as a roundabout way to get a ruling on the overall legality of its military action. Ukraine has already cleared one hurdle as the court decided in its favour in a preliminary decision in the case in March last year. Based on that, the court ordered Russia to cease military actions in Ukraine immediately.

“It is looking fairly positive for the court to find it has jurisdiction,” Juliette McIntyre, a law lecturer at the University of South Australia and ICJ watcher, said.
