World Court Hears Russian Objections To Ukraine’s Case Today

Ukraine brought the case to the United Nations’ apex court just days after the Russian invasion on February 24, last year.

Kyiv, the Ukraine seat of power, argued that Russia is abusing international laws by saying the invasion was justified to prevent an alleged genocide in eastern Ukraine. Russian officials have continued to accuse Ukraine of committing genocide and wants the case to be thrown out as it to the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice .

The hearings, set to run until September 27, will not delve into the merits of the case and are instead focused on legal arguments about jurisdiction.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.
