A legal war between Ukraine and Russia is raging in international courts
DONETSK, UKRAINE - FEBRUARY 17: A view from the shelled kindergarten in eastern Ukraine on February 17, 2022. Ukraine has also announced that it will seek an investigation of Russian officials by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court for attacks on a kindergarten and orphanage. Unlike the ICJ, the ICC investigates and prosecutes individuals for alleged crimes.
The courts will be unable to stop the Russian invasion. Even if it grants provisional measures, the ICJ does not have an enforcement mechanism to stop military conflict. The ICC has jurisdiction to arrest and try war criminals, but investigations take years or even decades. The availability of smartphones and technology that canto the standards of international courts may speed justice for Ukraine. Still, we are unlikely to see Putin stand trial in the ICC for many years.
