The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is due to rule on a case challenging Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in what will be the first such decision by an international court since the conflict began over three weeks ago.
On Wednesday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN’s highest court in The Hague, will announce its verdict on Ukraine’s urgent actions against Russia.

Ukraine accuses Russia of breaking the 1948 Genocide Convention and asks the court to compel a halt to the hostilities immediately.
