The court has no direct means to enforce the order, but, the international community and the banks can find justice for Ukraine so long as Russia continues to kill the people and rape the land.
I believe sovereign countries can act against Russia that limits it's ability to carry out war and the banks have a legal obligation to Ukraine in requesting monies to protect this country and return function. Banks with the authority invested in them by sovereign governments can begin to take Russian wealth and return Ukraine's function and protections for the people.
There is absolutely no doubt the World Court has ruled that Russia is acting illegally and is to stop. As it continues beyond the decisions of the world court only proves it has no respect for authority of any kind. When such a rouge status is valued by Putin, it is time for the world and it's banks to act responsibility to end this travesty of this war.
The UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) (click here) in The Hague has ordered Russia to halt its invasion of Ukraine, saying the court had not seen any evidence to support the Kremlin’s justification for the war, that Ukraine was committing genocide against Russian-speakers in the east of the country.
The court ruled by 13 votes to two for a provisional order that “the Russian Federation shall immediately suspend military operations that it commenced on 24 February 2022 in the territory of Ukraine”. Only the Russian and Chinese judges on the court voted against the order.
The court president, US judge Joan Donoghue, said the court “is not in possession of evidence substantiating” Russian allegations of genocide on Ukrainian territory. In any case, she said it was “doubtful” the Genocide Convention gives any authority for the “unilateral use of force in the territory of another state”.
Consequently, she said “the court considers that Ukraine has a plausible right not to be subjected to military operations by the Russian Federation”.
ICJ rulings are binding under the UN Charter, and the court order noted they “create international legal obligations for any party to whom the provisional measures are addressed”, but it has no means of enforcement. It is unlikely to influence Putin’s choices, but it does provide an authoritative refutation of his frequently used pretext for starting the war.
“Ukraine gained a complete victory in its case against Russia at the international court of justice,” the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said in a tweet. “The ICJ ordered to immediately stop the invasion. The order is binding under international law. Russia must comply immediately. Ignoring the order will isolate Russia even further.”...
