The UN has begun to cleanse itself of Russia’s malicious influence.

President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this.

"For the first time in UN history, its member states denied Russia the right to administer justice on their behalf in the International Court of Justice. The world sees who destroys international law instead of protecting it," he said.

Zelensky congratulated representatives from Australia, Mexico, Romania, South Africa, and the USA on their victory in the vote for the International Court of Justice at both the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly.

Today, the UN elected representatives to the International Court of Justice. Russia's representative, Kirill Gevorgyan, lost to Romania's representative, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Bogdan Aurescu. They were nominated for the court from the Eastern European region.
