It’s very lengthy, but as of December of last year (2025, if anyone from the future is reading this), the court found that Russia’s claims against Ukraine bore merit and that Ukraine had to provide evidence against Russian claims
It’s my understanding from reading the various documents there that the court found Russia’s claims admissable, ie that the court had juristiction and the claims fall under this case rather than a new case. I’m not a lawyer so struggling to find where they discuss the merit of the claims themselves though. Can you elaborate on this further?
A lot of this is a bit too technical for me to understand it well, but so far I’m understanding that Ukraine asked the court to rule that there was no genocide being committed by Ukraine, and that Russia filed a counter claim to dispute that, which was admitted by the court who requested Ukraine to respons which it hasn’t. I don’t understand if ICJ is actually researching if Ukraine committed a genocide or not, or if it’s just researching whether it can state that definitely no genocide took place.
Here is the notes on the official investigation directly from the ICJ
