This week Ukraine will lodge with the International Court a comprehensive large-scale lawsuit against the Russian Federation concerning the violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin told ICTV, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
"The first big lawsuit will be filed just this week. It regards the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. In fact, it is a comprehensive suit, since it includes such fundamental issues as the use of marine space, violation of environmental safety, and also [the issues of] the objects of cultural heritage. It is a very large-scale claim," he said.
