Armenia Asks World Court to Throw out Azerbaijan Discrimination Case

Armenia asked the International Court of Justice to throw out a case brought by its neighbor Azerbaijan accusing it of anti-Azeri ethnic cleansing in violation of a UN anti-discrimination treaty.

The move comes a week after Azerbaijan did the same thing, asking the ICJ, also known as the World Court, to dismiss a case brought against it by Armenia. A final ruling in both cases could be years away, and the court has no way to enforce its rulings.
