The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, will deliver its order on the request for the indication of provisional measures made by Armenia in the case concerning Application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Armenia v. Azerbaijan) on December 7.
A public sitting will take place at 3 p.m. at the Peace Palace in The Hague, during which the President of the Court, Judge Joan E. Donoghue, will read out the ruling, the court said in a press release on Monday.
Yeghishe Kirakosyan, Representative of Armenia before the ECHR, will pay a visit to The Hague on 6-8 December to attend the hearing, according to a decree signed by Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday.
Armenia filed a case against Azerbaijan at the World Court in September, stating Azerbaijan has violated the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Among Armenia’s requested measures are an order to release Armenian prisoners of war and other captives being held in Azerbaijan, as well as to close the so-called “military trophies park”.
