    This case predates Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The ICJ will decide on Friday whether it has jurisdiction to rule in a separate case over that war.

    The court said that only cash transfers could be considered as support for alleged terrorist groups under the terms of the international convention on terrorism financing.

    This “does not include the means used to commit acts of terrorism, including weapons or training camps,” the court ruled.

    “Consequently, the alleged supply of weapons to various armed groups operating in Ukraine… fall outside the material scope of the ICSFT” convention, said the court.
