Allegations of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation: 32 States intervening) Summary of the Judgment of 2 February 2024
HISTORY OF THE PROCEEDINGS (PARAS. 1-28)

SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE AD HOC DAUDET
1. I agree with all the Court’s responses to the objections to jurisdiction and admissibility raised by Russia, and I fully support the reasoning underlying them. Nonetheless, I would like to add a few thoughts of my own.

DECLARATION OF JUDGE BRANT
[Translation]
1. I voted to reject the fifth preliminary objection of the Russian Federation, founded on the inadmissibility of the request for a declaration that the Applicant did not breach its obligations under the Convention (paragraph 151, subparagraph 6, of the operative clause of the Judgment). While I broadly agree with the reasoning that led the Court to this decision, I think it would be useful to clarify one particular aspect of it which, in my opinion, could have been addressed in more detail by the Court.

SEPARATE OPINION OF JUDGE CHARLESWORTH
Subject of the dispute  Indivisibility of the two “aspects” of the dispute.
