World Court dismisses much of Ukraine's case against Russia
Source: Reuters
THE HAGUE, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Judges at the top U.N. court on Wednesday found that Russia violated elements of a U.N. anti-terrorism treaty, but declined to rule on allegations brought by Kyiv that Moscow was responsible for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014.
In the same ruling, judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found that Russia had breached an anti-discrimination treaty by failing to support Ukrainian language education in Crimea after its 2014 annexation of the peninsula.
The decisions were a legal setback for Kyiv. The court rejected Ukraine's requests to order reparations for both violations and only ordered Russia to comply with the treaties.
Ukraine's representative Anton Korynevych stressed the judgment was important for Kyiv because it did establish Russia violated international law.

I don't know if Russia has ever been held accountable for their crimes throughout their history. From the Holodomor to the Katyn massacre to the Crimean genocide and the list goes on. The Russian mass murder will never end until they are shaken, as a society,, to answer for their crimes. I applaud the Ukrainian nation for trying.
