Details: The European Court of Justice announced that on July 9, the Court would announce the decision of the Grand Chamber in the Interstate case « Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia ».

On Facebook, the ECtHR Commissioner Margarita Sokorenko stressed that it was a legal confrontation with Ukraine with an aggressor state, in which the Ministry of Justice team has worked continuously for many years.

« In today’s form, the case brings together four statements about flashy human rights violations in Ukraine, » she said.

According to Sokorenko, they enter there:

• Ukraine against Russia (No. 8019/16) – violations during the armed conflict in the Donbass, in particular the killing of MH17, torture, forced labor and more;
• Ukraine against Russia (No. 43800/14) – abduction and illegal movement of Ukrainian children to the Russian Federation in 2014;
• The Netherlands against Russia (No. 28525/20) – the circumstances and consequences of beating MH17 flight;
• Ukraine against Russia (No. 11055/22) – gross violations of human rights during a full -scale invasion from February 24, 2022.

Sokorenko reminded that in January 2023 the ECtHR had already declared a partially acceptable case on three first statements, establishing that the Russian Federation has controlled the occupied Donbass regions since May 11, 2014.

In February 2023, the application for invasion (No. 11055/22) was combined with the main case.

This case is unprecedented: 26 states and one international organization as third parties have joined it.

« The expected decision will be fundamental – not only for legal practice, but also for all victims of aggression of the Russian Federation. It is a matter of global justice and the voice of truth in the post of truth, » Sokorenko stressed.

Prehistory:

• In January 2023, the court in Strasbourg decided that he had a jurisdiction on consideration of complaints against Russia for human rights violations in the territories of East of Ukraine, which were under the actual control of Russia.
