Karabakh can't appeal to Haaga
The verdict reached by the UN International Court of Justice cannot be viewed as a precedent and used to solve other frozen conflicts because it only refers to Kosovo," European Program Director of the International Crisis Group Sabina Fraiser told "Radio Liberty".
What will be the consequences if Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia, Abkhazia or Transdniester appeal to the same court to study their cases? In response, Sabina Fraizer said that an unrecognized state may not appeal to the International Court of Justice.
"To appeal to the court, Karabakh must have the support of the majority of the UN General Assembly members to defend the case in the International Court and it needs to do the same for the Security Council. The plaintiff must be a member of the UN. Nagorno-Karabakh is not a member, meaning that it will not be able to do that," stated the European Program Director of the International Crisis Group Sabina Fraizer.
Serbia had appealed to the International Court of Justice for the case of Kosovo.
