Ukraine insisted Tuesday that the United Nations' highest court has jurisdiction to hear a case alleging that Moscow abused the genocide convention to justify launching its devastating invasion last year.
Kyiv wants judges at the International Court of Justice to order Russia to halt its attacks and pay reparations. But it appears unlikely Moscow would comply. Russia has flouted a binding interim order issued by the court in March last year to end its invasion."Russia's defiance is also an attack on this court's authority.
"This lie is Russia's pretext for aggression and conquest. Russia has presented no credible evidence. It cannot. In reality, Russia has turned the Genocide Convention on its head." Another lawyer for Ukraine, Marney Cheek, told judges that Russia's preparations for its invasion last year did not only include its massive troop buildup along Ukraine's borders. "It also included eight years of building a sham justification for Putin's so-called special military operation," she said.
