1/4 Ukraine filed a case against the Russian Federation at the International Court of Justice, and a request for the Court to issue an order of provisional measures against Russia
2/4 Russia is perverting the modern international order. It is abusing the sacred responsibility of preventing genocide, the most serious international crime, as a pretext to commit the crime of aggression against a sovereign state
3/4 The Court has jurisdiction to hear Ukraine’s case, and to order emergency measures, on the basis of the Genocide Convention, which is one of the most important international treaties, drafted in response to the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust
4/4 Ukraine will fight in self-defense against Russian aggression. Ukraine will fight diplomatically to secure military support and economic sanctions against the aggressor. And it will fight for justice in the highest international courts to hold the aggressor accountable
