#InternationalCourt orders Russia to immediately cease invasion in #Ukraine, only Judges of #Russia and #China disagree

On March 17, 2022, the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), the top court of the United Nations, has ordered Russia to “immediately suspend” its military operations in Ukraine.

Of the 15 judges, almost all agreed to order Russia to “immediately suspend” its military operations, except two dissenters: the judges of Russian, Kirill Gevorgian and Chinese, Xue Hanqin.

ICJ rulings are binding under the UN Charter although the international body has no means to enforce it.

"Ukraine gained a complete victory in its case against Russia at the international court of justice,” Ukrainian president #VolodymyrZelenskiy said in a tweet. “Russia must comply immediately. Ignoring the order will isolate Russia even further.”
