“It is impossible to represent in forums dedicated to the application of the Law a state that so cynically despises it,” wrote Alan Pelle, a world-class scientist and professor of international law at the University of Paris, who until February 24, 2022, was Russia’s lawyer in the International Court of Justice.

“Russia has become toxic even for those who, despite everything, continued to work for it after 2014,” Dzhaparova said.
