The International Court of Justice is one of the most important elements in the global architecture for maintaining international relations based on international law. This gives his occupation a special weight and makes it part of the overall process of strengthening the rule of law. Any attempt to change this role and unscrupulously use the court for narrow political interests are unacceptable. This is what the director of the legal department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maxim Musicin, said at the UN General Assembly meeting. "Currently, the court is considering a record number of cases - 24. Their plots cover the cornerstone issues of civilization development: state sovereignty, inadmissibility of genocide and racial discrimination, respect for human rights, immunity and others." According to him, crisis trends are increasing in international relations. "It is symptomatic that the Court is currently examining four cases related in one way or another to the inalienable obligations of states to prevent and punish the most serious international crime - genocide. It seemed that this issue should have been closed once and for all after the Nuremberg Tribunal, which is also celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. However, we speak again to our great sorrow. Misanthropic theories, the spread of the ideas of Nazism and racial supremacy on the European continent in an old or new guise, and the existence of the evil of mass extermination of man by man The court is faced with the difficult but necessary task of deciding these cases in accordance with the highest principles of fairness and impartiality. According to him, the International Court of Justice should not become a tool of a hybrid war, which began in the West and for which they came up with their own nickname - "law". He called for a careful and balanced approach to holding the next court elections. "The International Court of Justice must remain a forum where the law prevails over politics and the bloc's thinking."
