The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague has ordered Russia to immediately halt its occupation of Ukraine, saying there is no evidence to support its justification for war.
During a hearing Wednesday, the court ruled that there was no evidence to support Russian claims that Ukraine was committing genocide in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, with official Moscow justifying its occupation of Ukraine.
“The Russian Federation shall immediately suspendd the military operations that it commenced on 24 February 2022, with the stated aim and objective of preventing and punishing an alleged genocide in Luhansk and Donetskoblasts, Ukraine,” the statement said.
The court also called on other forces backed or controlled by Moscow to suspend their military operations and for Russia to refrain from worsening the situation.
Ukraine filed an appeal against Russia on February 26 in the International Court of Justice under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. She urged the ICJ to discuss Russian allegations that Ukraine was committing genocide in the Donbas./The Geopost
