The Court has consistently proved that it looks past the political circumstances of cases and decides in accordance with international law. In this context, we fully trust the Court and its actions. We do hope that in the coming weeks and months many states in the world will join us in this demarche, in support of the Declaration," Aurescu added. (Photo:mae.ro)
