Ukraine crisis: Types of interventions, punishment of crimes and international law

Abstract

The present work tries to analyze the role of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Ukrainian crisis. What kind of intervention can be done to the crime of genocide based as a precautionary appeal and with the aim of avoiding litigation? The practice already from the first months has shown that the dispute did not stop with a question to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a body not competent to resolve the dispute. Already the speed of the ICJ shows perhaps for the first time the commitment of the international community to be close to peoples who need their help. The jurisprudential history of the ICJ will shed light on the positions held by the first steps of the ICJ in relation to the controversy.
