Russia Ukraine war: ICJ finds Moscow violated terrorism and anti-discrimination treaties

The ethnic Tatar minority in Crimea, including by banning the Mejlis, a body representing Crimean Tatars. The ruling said Ukraine had not proven that the ban on the Mejlis was an example of racial discrimination.

However, ICJ had already ordered Russia to lift the ban on the body in 2017, a ruling ignored by Moscow. The court again found Russia in breach of this order. It also said Russia had violated a previous ruling to avoid making relations with Ukraine worse by launching a massive war against its neighbour.

One of the leaders of the Ukrainian legal team, Anton Korynevych, called Wednesday's ruling "important" because it found Russia had violated international law, "in particular both conventions under which we made our application".

Most of the seats on the Russian side were empty. Only a diplomat and a member of the Russian legal team turned up right before the ruling was announced. In contrast, the Ukrainian side was full.

This week, the court will issue another ruling on a case brought by Ukraine, accusing Russia of wrongly using the 1948 Genocide Convention to justify its full-scale invasion in 2022.

ICJ rulings are legally binding but cannot be enforced by the court itself.
