#UN Court To Make #Sovereignty Ruling In #Ukraine Case Against #Russia—-The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague is due on Friday to make a preliminary ruling on jurisdiction in a case filed by Ukraine against Russia.

The highest court of the United Nations is expected to decide whether it is authorized to open main proceedings in this case.

Ukraine sued its neighbour shortly after the full-scale Russian invasion in the spring of 2022, citing the Genocide Convention. Kiev accuses Moscow of abusing this convention.

Russia had initially justified the invasion of Ukraine by claiming that genocide against Russians in Ukraine had to be prevented. With this false accusation, Ukraine argues, Russia is violating the convention.

Russia firmly rejects the accusations and requested that the case be dismissed.

While Ukraine is supported in its action before the UN court by 32 Western allies.

Only on Wednesday, the same court had largely dismissed another case brought by Ukraine against Russia in 2017 and acquitted Russia of the accusation of financing terrorism in eastern Ukraine.

Decisions by the ICJ are binding, but the court has no means of enforcing them.

Chelsea Handed Major Injury Boost

Chelsea Handed Major Injury Boost as James and Colwill Return—-Chelsea FC have received a timely boost ahead of a crucial run of fixtures, with captain Reece James and defender Levi Colwill both returning to full training.

Colwill, who has been sidelined since pre-season with a serious knee injury, is yet to feature for Chelsea’s first team this season. His absence has been keenly felt in defence, with the club forced to cope without one of its most highly rated young centre-backs.

The 23-year-old is now back in full training as he nears a long-awaited return, although he is expected to build match fitness gradually before being considered for senior selection.

Captain James, meanwhile, has also returned after his own injury setback, offering a significant boost in leadership and quality on the right flank.

With a series of important fixtures approaching, Chelsea will be encouraged by the return of both players as they aim to finish the season strongly.

While neither player may be rushed straight back into action, their availability at this stage of the campaign could prove crucial for the Blues.
