    I’ve run into a few of these types of people

    When i pointed out the ICJ is investigating Ukraine for its ethnic cleansing campaign, I was told “Don’t believe Russian lies”

    When i pointed out the ICJ was the same group investigating Israel for genocide, they just short-circuited and vanished

      Do you have a link to an article describing the investigation against Ukraine? It’s really difficult to find more info on that via search engines

          It’s my understanding from reading the various documents there that the court found Russia’s claims admissable, ie that the court had juristiction and the claims fall under this case rather than a new case. I’m not a lawyer so struggling to find where they discuss the merit of the claims themselves though. Can you elaborate on this further?

          A lot of this is a bit too technical for me to understand it well, but so far I’m understanding that Ukraine asked the court to rule that there was no genocide being committed by Ukraine, and that Russia filed a counter claim to dispute that, which was admitted by the court who requested Ukraine to respons which it hasn’t. I don’t understand if ICJ is actually researching if Ukraine committed a genocide or not, or if it’s just researching whether it can state that definitely no genocide took place.
