Moscow Times reports Russia decided to appeal to the UN court to "protect Russians" in the Baltic states Russia intends to appeal to the International Court of Justice to "protect" the rights of Russians in the Baltic states, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The ministry claims that the authorities of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia "prohibit" the use of the Russian language, "rewrite history" and engage in "punitive policies of repression and intimidation".
"All attempts to resolve differences through negotiations have been unsuccessful. In this regard, we, obviously, will have to transfer our claims to the judicial process by appealing to the main judicial body of the UN - the International Court," - said a representative of the Foreign Ministry to "Izvestia".
At the same time, Moscow has already appealed to international institutions on this issue. In particular, complaints from the Russian side were received by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities.
"The Ministry is conducting systematic work on all possible human rights platforms of the UN," - emphasized in the Foreign Ministry.
Former UN Deputy Secretary-General Sergei Ordzhonikidze called Russia's appeal to the court a political step.
"It's hard to predict when the case will be considered and how it will be reviewed. For the first time in the history of the International Court, there is no our judge there," - noted the expert, adding that the court proceedings could last "years".
