Il ruolo della funzione giudiziaria internazionale nel conflitto armato in Ucraina: l’ordinanza della Corte internazionale di giustizia sulle misure cautelari

The contribution discusses the International Court of Justice’s Order on provisional measures in the Allegations of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation). The conditions for the adoption of provisional measures, notably prima facie jurisdiction ratione materiae, were deemed to be met since the Court upheld Ukraine’s ‘creative’ interpretation of the Genocide Convention. The appropriateness of adopting an Order that has not had any meaningful impact on the ground so far must be appraised by keeping in mind the Court’s role as principal judicial organ of the United Nations; it can be seen as an (admittedly limited) contribution to international peace and security, and thus to the fulfillment of the aims of the Charter.

Il contributo discute l'ordinanza sulle misure cautelari adottata dalla Corte internazionale di giustizia il 16 marzo 2022 nell'affare relativo alla Convenzione contro il genocidio (Ucraina c. Federazione russa)
