The expert assessed the chances of Ukraine in court against Russia in the Hague

In half a year there will be a final decision.

For the second day of the ongoing international court in the Hague, where Ukraine is suing against Russia.

An expert on international Affairs Boris Nemirovsky in his article “Ukraine vs Russia: a dangerous party in the Hague” focuses on the fact that, despite the complexity of the process, Ukraine has a chance to win. Even though they are miserable.

Bruno Simma, Professor of law at the University of Munich, who was a judge at the Hague International court of justice for nine years, in turn, confirms the thoughts Nemirovsky. However, SIMM argues that the process of recognition of Russia as the guilty will be long.

In April can be solved the question of the temporary order, “he says,” for the year will be solved the question of the credentials, and after half a year there will be a final decision.

Further proof that Ukraine can win is another precedent in the International court. In 1986, this court recognized the claim of Nicaragua against the United States. The court found that the United States violated international law when he intervened in the internal conflict on the side of the Nicaraguan rebel contras against the Communist government. However, the US still has not paid any penalties, but for a small country it was a big moral victory.

As for Ukraine: “even a temporary order can be considered a success,” says Professor Bruno Simma.
