Memorandum to:
Court Officials - International Court of Justice - The Hague
February 27, 2022
Pursuant to your jurisdictional statement:
"The International Court of Justice acts as a world court. The Court’s jurisdiction is twofold: it decides, in accordance with international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States (jurisdiction in contentious cases); and it gives advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the organs of the United Nations, specialized agencies or one related organization authorized to make such a request (advisory jurisdiction).”
As a specialized agency, we request that you provide us with an advisory opinion on the legal question relating to the necessary processes and jurisdictional procedures that are available to a UN member state or agency to file formal charges against Russian President Vladimir Putin with war crimes.
We also request and would expect that this petition will be expedited given the grave state of military operations - a de facto war - perpetrated on the sovereign state of the Ukraine by the Russian Federation under its President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin that have:
- Caused the deaths of innocent children,
- Caused the death of Ukrainian citizens,
- Caused the destruction of vital energy and food supply chains,
- Violated international law,
- Caused attacks on hospitals,
- Violated the internationally recognized domestic borders of the Ukraine, and finally,
- Threatened the international social, environmental and geo-political order by recklessly putting its nuclear assets on high alert;
We inform the court that the undersigned is an intermediary for one of the States entitled to appear before the Court.
Information - documentation and any relevant requirements pursuant to this legal initiative should be sent to the intermediary shown below.
