Georgia calls on international judges to intervene

Monday, 8 September 2008

Georgia will appeal to judges at the International Court of Justice today to impose emergency measures on Russia.

It says it wants to halt what it calls a campaign of ethnic cleansing by Russia in the separatist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

The case at The Hague, in the Netherlands, opens a new legal front in the battle between Georgia and Russia for control of the regions.

It comes as French president Nicolas Sarkozy heads to Moscow for talks on the stand-off.
