What was the "technicality"? (they could have supplied a link...)
Are Canada/Australia accepting the Hague court's decision as legally binding for canadians/australians? (the US doesn't for american citizens, but I suppose that's not the "technicality" alluded to)

That's a til. So why didn't US accept the treaty (for all the genocide convention) criminalizing genocide? (and why is this just a "technicality"?)

The article is about: Top UN court allows a record 32 countries to intervene in Ukraine’s genocide case against Russia.

IDK, could have something to do with the kinds of people we provided with weapons in South America and Africa.

Technicality because they still need American muscle to actually enforce the U.N.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The International Court of Justice has accepted requests from 32 countries to back Ukraine in a genocide case against Russia, the United Nations’ highest court said Friday.

It’s the largest number of countries to join another nation’s complaint at the world court based in The Hague, Netherlands.

Ukraine’s government filed the legally creative case days after Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022. The Kremlin snubbed hearings held the next month, while protesters holding Ukrainian flags chanted antiwar slogans outside the court building’s gates.

Latvia was the first country to intervene in the complaint, which alleges Russia violated the 1948 Genocide Convention by falsely accusing Ukraine of committing genocide in its eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions, and using that as a pretext for the invasion.

[...]

Experts see the petitions in the pending case as attempts to demonstrate support for Ukraine and to condemn Russia’s war rather than countries seeking opportunities to advocate particular legal positions or arguments.

“The countries are expressing solidarity with Ukraine,” Ori Pomson, a legal scholar at the University of Cambridge whose research focuses on the International Court of Justice, told the Associated Press.

In March 2022, the court ordered Russia to stop hostilities in Ukraine, but Moscow has failed to comply.

The world court is hearing a separate case brought earlier by Ukraine linked to Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and Russian funding of separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.

A similar group of countries also asked the European Court of Human Rights to intervene in a group of cases Ukraine brought against Russia over the war. In March, the Strasbourg-based court granted 31 groups the right to back Ukraine in those proceedings.
 
Febrauri 27, 2022. The case says Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine based on false claims of acts of genocide in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of eastern Ukraine and now is planning genocidal acts in Ukraine.

They were proven right
 

Private property? No, we have not heard of it. And you wonder why the rest of the world (Africa, Asia, South America) did not support sanctions. Because you are robbers. You've been robbers since the Roman Empire, and you still are. Neo-colonialism, behind the mask of globalization and human rights.
And the attitude (especially in the media) to this war and other wars in the last 30 years clearly underlines this.

Okay, everyone was a robber in Roman times, but it's just that someone excelled at it and greatly increased his skill at theft over time.

Country in the process trying to steal territory from Ukraine says what?

Does a private aviation company have anything to do with it?
And they are Russian - so automatically they can be robbed
 
I think a more crucial issue is the idea you have a right to give (bought) russian weapon systems to Ukraine, when the contracts by which they were sold explicitly state they are not to be given (free or sold) to anti-russian (or just "other") countries.
Iirc it came briefly into news when Bulgaria was reported as toying with the idea of giving its s300 to Ukraine (iirc Slovakia -?- already had s300, but not bought from anywhere; they remained there following the dissolution of USSR).

It's ironic that a country who is stealing land is calling others "robbers"

You do realise your country invaded Ukraine, right?
