International Court of Justice to hear Georgia-Russia case

The Hague - The International Court of Justice in The Hague is due to deliberate Georgia's claims against Russia concerning the alleged violation of its territorial integrity. The hearings are expected to continue for three days. Georgia says Russia violated international law by entering the province of South Ossetia on August 7. It also claims Russia previously caused unrest in South Ossetia, as well as in the breakaway province of Abkhazia. Georgia, which filed its case against Russia on August 15, also claims Russia committed genocide and ethnic cleansing in South Ossetia. Russia has rejected all allegations and says it entered Georgia's South Ossetia region to protect the civilian population from violence committed by the Georgian Army. In the upcoming hearings, both Georgia and Russia will present evidence to corroborate their respective stories. The International Court of Justice, established by the UN in 1945, resolves disputes of international law between states.
