"Russia Appeals to UN's Top Court to Dismiss Ukrainian Case Against Moscow's Invasion"

Russia has urged the United Nations' highest court to dismiss Ukraine's case alleging that Moscow abused the Genocide Convention to justify its invasion last year. Russia's legal team argued that Ukraine's case is flawed and an abuse of process. Ukraine's case argues that the invasion was based on false claims of genocide and alleges that Moscow was planning genocidal acts in Ukraine. Russia insists that the court lacks jurisdiction and that the genocide convention cannot regulate the use of force by nations. The court's panel of judges will decide whether the case can proceed, with a final ruling likely years away.
