ICJ orders Russia to suspend military operations in Ukraine

March 16, 2022, Global Arbitration Review

The Covington team representing Ukraine before the International Court of Justice is mentioned by Global Arbitration Review in an article announcing the court ruling requiring Russia to suspend all military operations in Ukraine. The article mentions the cross-office team, including Marney Cheek, David Zionts, Clovis Trevino, Vlad Shkilevych, Jill Warnock, Paul Strauch, Jonathan Gimblett, and Paris Aboro.
