Abstract

On 2 May, the Permanent Court of Arbitration based in The Hague passed a ruling in a case brought by a group of Ukrainian companies and one individual against the Russian Federation. It unanimously granted their claims to the assets lost as a consequence of the annexation of Crimea and imposed an obligation on the Russian side to pay US$159 million in compensation. This verdict is the first to have been delivered in a number of cases brought by Ukrainian private companies and the Ukrainian state to the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights linked to the Russian occupation of the Crimean Peninsula and Russian military operation in eastern Ukraine.
