THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The United Nations’ top court on Wednesday
rejected large parts of a case filed by Ukraine alleging that Russia bankrolled
separatist rebels in the country’s east a decade ago and has discriminated
against Crimea’s multiethnic community since its annexation of the peninsula.



The International Court of Justice ruled Moscow violated articles of two
treaties — one on terrorism financing and another on eradicating racial
discrimination — but it rejected far more of Kyiv’s claims under the treaties.



It rejected Ukraine’s request for Moscow to pay reparations for attacks in
eastern Ukraine blamed on pro-Russia Ukrainian rebels, including the July 17,
2014, downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 that killed all 298 passengers and
crew.





Russia has denied any involvement in the downing of the jetliner. A Dutch
domestic court convicted two Russians and a pro-Moscow Ukrainian in November
2022 for their roles in the attack and sentenced them in their absence to life
imprisonment. The Netherlands and Ukraine also have sued Russia at the European
Court of Human Rights over MH17.

In another rebuke for Moscow, the world court ruled that Russia had violated one
of the court’s orders by launching its full-scale invasion in Ukraine nearly two
years ago.





The leader of Ukraine’s legal team, Anton Korynevych, called the ruling “a
really important day because this is a judgment which says that the Russian
Federation violated international law, in particular both conventions under
which we made our application.”



The legally binding final ruling was the first of two expected decisions from
the International Court of Justice linked to the decade-long conflict between
Russia and Ukraine that exploded into all-out war almost two years ago.



At hearings last year, a lawyer for Ukraine, David Zionts, said the pro-Russia
forces in eastern Ukraine “attacked civilians as part of a campaign of
intimidation and terror. Russian money and weapons fueled this campaign.”





The court, however, ruled that sending arms and other equipment didn’t
constitute terrorism funding according to the 1999 treaty.



“The alleged supply of weapons to various armed groups operating in Ukraine and
the alleged organization of training for members of those groups fall outside
the material scope” of the treaty, the court’s president Joan E. Donoghue.



Another lawyer for Ukraine, Harold Koh, said during last year’s hearings that in
the Crimean Peninsula, Russia “sought to replace the multiethnic community that
had characterized Crimea before Russia’s intervention with discriminatory
Russian nationalism.”



Lawyers for Russia urged the world court to throw out the case, arguing that the
actions of pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine did not amount to terrorism.



The court found that Russia failed to investigate allegations by Ukraine of
alleged terrorist acts, but rejected all other claims by Kyiv of breaches of the
Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism.



It also ruled that Moscow breached the Convention on the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination by limiting school education in the Ukrainian language and by
maintaining a ban on a Tartar representative assembly called the Mejlis.



The court is scheduled to rule Friday on Russia’s objections to its jurisdiction
in another case filed by Ukraine shortly after Russian troops invaded on Feb.
24, 2022. It alleges Moscow launched its attack based on trumped-up genocide
allegations. The court already has issued an interim order for Russia to halt
the invasion, which Moscow has flouted.





The International Court of Justice in recent weeks also heard a case brought by
South Africa accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. Judges issued
provisional measures last week calling on Israel to do all it can to prevent
death, destruction and any acts of genocide in the conflict.
