Demonstrators showing pictures of people affected by the war in Ukraine protest outside the building of the World Court as judges rule on a request from Ukraine to issue an emergency measure to order Russia to cease military activities amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in The Hague, Netherlands, on March 16, 2022.
"The Russian Federation shall immediately suspend the military operations that it commenced on Feb 24, 2022 on the territory of Ukraine," the ICJ judges said in a 13-2 decision. Ukraine filed its case at the ICJ shortly after Russia's invasion began on Feb 24, saying that Moscow's stated justification, that it was acting to prevent a genocide in eastern Ukraine, was unfounded.
Ukrainian government forces have been battling Russia-backed separatists in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine since 2014. Kyiv and its Western allies reject Moscow's claims of any genocide being perpetrated against Russian speakers there.
