Russia's Acting Permanent Representative to the UN, Anna Yevstigneeva, stated that Ukraine's attempts to abuse judicial procedure at the International Court of Justice have repeatedly failed, and the ICJ has defended its independence despite pressure. She added that Ukraine is now a defendant in a genocide case.
Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that the ICAO Council merely 'rubber-stamped' the MH17 crash investigation, showing extreme bias and ignoring Ukraine's alleged involvement. Russia has filed a memorandum with the International Court of Justice to challenge the ICAO's decision, which it claims baselessly blamed Russia for the 2014 crash.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has filed a case against Rwanda at the ICJ, accusing it of breaching international treaties by dispatching forces and backing armed groups for unlawful military operations on its territory. DR Congo seeks accountability for alleged breaches of conventions covering genocide prevention, racial discrimination, women's rights, and torture.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a legal opinion clarifying that the right to strike is protected under the freedom of association. The opinion, requested by the ILO, aims to strengthen workers' rights globally, though it is not legally binding.
