 ASIL Insight: ICJ Rejects Yugoslav Requests ...
First, Yugoslavia contended that the Court has jurisdiction over all the parties and the claims based on Article IX of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention), to which Yugoslavia and the ten NATO members are parties.
The NATO parties also argued that the relief that Yugoslavia asked for, relating to the use of force, was unrelated to the subject-matter of the Genocide Convention, so that the jurisdictional clause contained in the Convention could not serve to establish jurisdiction over the relief requested by Yugoslavia.
Consequently, the reservation ratione temporis contained in Yugoslavia's own declaration led the Court to conclude that the declarations made by the parties in these proceedings did not constitute a basis on which the Court's jurisdiction could prima facie be founded in the cases against Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom.
