Summary:
This article is about Georgia's (the country) case aginst Russia being rejected. Georgia claimed that Russia had been participating in ethnic clensing, going aginst a CERD agreement. The case was rejected because Russia pointed out that the court had no juristriction. This was said because there had been no negotiation to try to resolve the dispute. Despite the courts ruling Georgia plans on continuing to persue this matter once the specific parts of the agreement have been met.
I think Russia is trying to get out of something. You don't point out a court has no jurisdiction unless you are afraid of what they may say. It would be very bad if the Russia groups had participated in ethnic clensing. Everyone has a right to their ethnicity and culture. The best thing to hope for is that the negotiations that are sure to follow go well. And that no ethnic clensing actually took place.
