Great summary of the recent ICJ cases. Also, interesting passage:
>Neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan have made a declaration under Article 36(2) of the ICJ Statute, agreeing to general ICJ jurisdiction over any international law disputes, which would allow a case to be brought under IHL. That has left Armenia with limited avenues for State responsibility, hence the targeted case connecting specific conduct with racial discrimination under CERD. Another possible avenue is that Armenia could potentially bring a case under theĀ Genocide ConventionĀ against Azerbaijan based on the blockade (both states have agreed to ICJ jurisdiction under this Convention).

IHL = International humanitarian law
