| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis looks thoroughly at cases involving genocide that the International Court of Justice has handled under the provisions of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The thesis advocates for the convention's definition to be expanded to specifically include cultural genocide. Through key cases that highlight difficulties and obstacles, the International Court of Justice's critical role in state accountability and individual criminal responsibility is examined. The research emphasizes the need for comprehensive peacebuilding initiatives that go beyond legal proceedings. The judgments of the ICJ are seen as essential to the advancement of international law and the promotion of justice in the fight against genocide. By examining particular instances heard by the ICJ — Croatia v. Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro, and Ukraine v. Russian Federation—this thesis focuses on the topic's continued significance in the modern day. |
