Abstrakt

The 2008 Russian-Georgian war began during the Olympic Games, but the conflict had pre-existing roots and did not conclude with the official ceasefire. The international community’s immediate reaction was delayed, yet over time, both political and legal efforts to establish accountability for the war emerged. Georgia used international legal mechanisms, including claims to the European Court of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, and the International Criminal Court. While some efforts were unsuccessful, many produced significant results. These legal processes led to the formal recognition and legal assessment of the Russian occupation of Georgian territories and responsibility for human rights violations. This article reviews international case law concerning the legal evaluation and recognition of the occupation of Georgian territories by Russia, as well as the prospects for establishing the legal responsibility of the Russian Federation.
