Ukraine V. Russian Federation (2022)
''Allegations of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation)'' is a case brought before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It was submitted by Ukraine on 26 February 2022 against Russia following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, latter's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which Russia sought to justify in part by unsubstantiated claims that Ukraine was engaged in acts of genocide within the Luhansk Oblast, Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast, Donetsk Oblast, oblasts. Ukraine said that these claims gave rise to a dispute under the Genocide Convention, 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and based its application on the ICJ's jurisdiction to resolve disputes involving the Convention.

Legality Of The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine violated international law (including the Charter of the United Nations). The invasion has also been called a crime of aggression under international criminal law and under some countries' domestic criminal codes – including those of Ukraine and Russia – although procedural obstacles exist to prosecutions under these laws. This article discusses the international and domestic legal provisions Russia is said to have violated, as well as Russia's legal justifications for the invasion and the responses of legal experts to those justifications. The legality of the Russian invasion ''per se'' is a distinct subject from whether individual political officials or combatants have engaged in war crimes or crimes against humanity.
