Allegations of Genocide Under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation)

International Court of Justice
2022 I.C.J. 211 (2022)

Facts

The Russian Federation (Russia) (defendant) began military operations in in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine (plaintiff). Russia claimed that Ukraine had been committing genocide in those regions for eight years and that Russia was using military force to protect the people in those regions from the genocide. Ukraine and Russia were both parties to the Genocide Convention. Disputes under the Genocide Convention could be heard by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Ukraine filed an application with the ICJ under the Genocide Convention, asking the court to declare that Russia’s genocide claims were false and Russia’s use of force in Ukraine was unlawful. Ukraine also asked the ICJ for a provisional (i.e., interim) order requiring Russia to suspend its use of military force in Ukraine while the case was pending. The ICJ considered the request for provisional relief.
