"ICJ Dismisses Ukraine's Case Against Russia, St Petersburg Refinery Struck in Prisoner of War Swap"

The International Court of Justice dismissed much of Ukraine's case against Russia, finding that Russia violated a U.N. anti-terrorism treaty but declining to rule on allegations related to the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. The court also found that Russia breached an anti-discrimination treaty by failing to support Ukrainian language education in Crimea. Ukraine's requests for reparations were rejected, but the court ordered Russia to comply with the treaties. The judgments are final and without appeal, with another ruling expected in a separate case where Ukraine accuses Russia of falsely applying the 1948 Genocide Convention.
