March 7–8, 2022, the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, will hold public hearings in the case “Ukraine v. Russian Federation” at the Peace Palace in The Hague.
For possible use in these hearings, we present analytical and other documentary materials prepared by Ukrainian and foreign experts assessing the Russian Federation’s violations of international law during the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, and other measures to violate sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state.
