The International Court of Justice demanded that the Russian Federation stop the special operation in Ukraine launched on February 24, 2022.
As President of the Court Joan Donoghue announced, Russia should “immediately suspend the military operation, the goals and objectives of which are declared to be the prevention and punishment of the perpetrators of the alleged genocide in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine.”
She also called on the parties to the conflict to refrain from actions that could aggravate the situation, and recalled that court decisions on interim measures are binding.
This decision was a response to a lawsuit filed on February 26 by Ukraine.
In turn, Valerie Osterveld, Professor of the Department of Law at the University of Western Ontario (Canada), during an online meeting organized by the Foreign Press Association in the Netherlands, explained that the International Court of Justice can order interim measures, but it does not have special institutions, with the exception of the UN Security Council, in order to enforce these interim measures. Meanwhile, Russia is one of the countries with the right of veto in the UN Security Council.
