The United Nations International Court found Russia guilty of violating some provisions of the International Convention to Combat the Financing of Terrorism due to the fact that the Russian authorities did not investigate cases of financial support for separatist groups in eastern Ukraine.
This was reported in the information posted by the site of the organization.
The court also recognized that the education system introduced by Russia in Crimea after 2014, which does not provide for training in Ukrainian, is a violation of Article 2 of the International Convention on the Elimination of Race Discrimination.
Kyiv in its claim claimed that Moscow financed armed separatists in the Donbass, whom Ukraine accuses of terrorism, and is responsible for their activities, including the confusion of the Boeing of the Malaysian Boeing in 2014, when 298 people were killed. In addition, the statement said that Russia is engaged in systematic discrimination of the non -Russian population of the annexed Crimea, primarily Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars.
In its decision, the UN court admitted that Russia violated the Convention on the fight against the financing of terrorism, since it did not conduct an investigation into the involvement of the representatives of the LPR and the DPR in terrorist formations. However, the court said that he does not have sufficient evidence to consider the Donetsk and Lugansk separatists terrorists.
At the same time, the court refused to award Ukraine compensation, on which Kyiv insisted.
Official Kyiv on January 16, 2017 filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation in the Hague of the UN in the Hague, accusing it of violating the International Convention to Combat the Financing of Terrorism and the International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of racial discrimination. The lawsuit was filed even before the full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine in 2022.
In its claim, the Ukrainian side noted that Russia was discriminated against Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, prohibited the activities of the Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people. Ukraine also reported the disappearance, murders, illegal searches and detentions “in temporarily occupied Crimea.”
