KARABAKH CAN'T APPEAL TO THE HAGUE

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.
