In a joint statement by 40 states, including the United States, EU and Great Britain, ask the Russian Federation to stop the war in Ukraine. On July 13, these countries stated that they support Kyiv’s appeal to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
In the declaration, which was made public in New York, the countries express their support for Ukraine’s appeal against Russia to the International Court of Justice on the basis of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Suppression of the Crime of Genocide in order to prove that Moscow’s military actions, Russia’s intervention have no legal basis and are based on “baseless allegations of genocide”.
The statement recalls that on March 16, 2022, the court demanded that Moscow stop the war. The document says:
“Russia must be held accountable for its actions (…), the losses and damages suffered by Ukraine (…) require full and urgent compensation from Moscow.”
Ukraine believes that it will take at least $750 billion to rebuild the country after hostilities.
The International Court of Justice is located in The Hague, its decisions are binding and irrevocable. He bases his verdict mainly on treaties and conventions, but has no way to force any country to comply with his decisions, writes cnn.gr.
