WorldIn World Court, Indian Judge Votes Against Russia For Invading UkraineMarch 17, 20221 minute readKyiv dragged Moscow to the UN’s top court days after Russia’s attack on February 24The UN’s top court on Wednesday ordered Russia to suspend its invasion of Ukraine, saying it was “profoundly concerned” by Moscow’s use of force. “The Russian Federation shall immediately suspend military operations that it commenced on 24 February on the territory of Ukraine,” pending the final decision in the case, presiding judge Joan Donoghue told the International Court of Justice, or ICJ.“The court is profoundly concerned about the use of force by the Russian Federation which raises very serious issues in international law,” Justice Donoghue told a hearing in The Hague.Kyiv dragged Moscow to the UN’s top court days after Russia’s attack on February 24.India’s judge at the ICJ, Justice Dalveer Bhandari, also voted against Russia.Justice Bhandari was nominated to the ICJ entirely on the support of the government and various missions over a period of time.Justice Bhandari voting against Russia, though an independent move based on his interpretation of the Russia-Ukraine issue, is different from what India’s official position has been in different international fora.India has abstained from voting on the Ukraine-Russia issue in the UN and instead called on both sides to focus on negotiations and end hostilities.Ukraine accuses Russia of illegally trying to justify its war by falsely alleging genocide in Ukraine’s Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Kyiv then asked the ICJ to take provisional measures ordering Russia to “immediately suspend the military operations.”Source : https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/in-world-court-indian-judge-justice-dalveer-bhandari-votes-against-russia-for-invading-ukraine-2827412Total0Shares Share 0 Tweet 0 Pin it 0 Share 0 Share 0 Share 0 Share 0 Share 0 Previous Article WorldInternational Court of Justice orders Russia to suspend invasion of UkraineMarch 17, 2022View Post Next Article WorldIn a first since border stand-off, Chinese foreign minister plans to visit India soonMarch 17, 2022View Post You May Also Like View Post World King Charles gives Kate Middleton historic royal title amid cancer battlesApril 25, 2024 View Post World TikTok CEO Reacts to Law That Could Ban App: “We Aren’t Going Anywhere”April 25, 2024 View Post World Household Cavalry horses cause ‘total mayhem’ after bolting through central LondonApril 25, 2024 View Post World Dr. Anthony Fauci to testify before House COVID-19 panel for first time since retirementApril 25, 2024 View Post World US Supreme Court split over Idaho’s strict abortion ban in medical emergenciesApril 25, 2024 View Post World TikTok promises court battle as new law threatening ban is signed off by President BidenApril 25, 2024 View Post World Attacks on Red Sea shipping forces 66% decline in Suez Canal traffic – ONSApril 25, 2024 View Post World Pope Francis says of Ukraine, Gaza: “A negotiated peace is better than a war without end”April 25, 2024
