32 countries join Ukraine's genocide lawsuit against Russia in UN court.

The International Court of Justice has allowed a record 32 countries to intervene in Ukraine's genocide case against Russia, which alleges that Russia violated the 1948 Genocide Convention by falsely accusing Ukraine of committing genocide in its eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions and using that as a pretext for the invasion. The United States' request to participate was rejected on a technicality. The petitions are seen as attempts to demonstrate support for Ukraine and condemn Russia's war, rather than countries seeking opportunities to advocate particular legal positions or arguments.
