THE HAGUE, Sept 18 — Russia called on the UN’s highest court in The Hague today to throw out a case that centres around claims by Moscow that its invasion of Ukraine was carried out to prevent genocide.
Ukraine brought the case just days after the Russian invasion on February 24 last year. Kyiv argues Russia is abusing international law by saying the invasion was justified to prevent an alleged genocide in eastern Ukraine. Russia wants the case to be thrown out and says the court has no jurisdiction. 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.
