MOSCOW – A meeting of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) president with representatives of Russia and Ukraine on the lawsuit calling for the use of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination took place in The Hague on May 12.
Procedural aspects of further consideration of the case in the ICJ were discussed, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Ukraine shall present the memorandum containing its detailed demands as part of the case until June 12, 2018.
Russia will have time for a response until July 12, 2019.
