Currently confirmed by China and Ukraine leaders:

China 1. Offering a written proposal.

China 2. Being in discussions with Ukraine authorities to enable it to peacefully end Ukraine's self induced problems.

The UNGA "rules", utilised in Kosovo 2010, upheld by the relevant legal authorities (the International Court of Justice), and the UNGA resolution appear to be being followed scrupulously by Russia when defending Ukraine citizens from attacks by the 16%'s military forces.

Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 9 September 2010

[without reference to a Main Committee (A/64/L.65/Rev.1)]

Decision in favour of Kosovo's independence could have far-reaching implications for other separatist movements

"Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia in February 2008 did not violate international law, the international court of justice (ICJ) said today in a groundbreaking ruling that could have far-reaching implications for separatist movements around the world, as well as for Belgrade's stalled EU membership talks.

The long-awaited ruling - which the court took up after a complaint to the UN from Serbia - is now likely to lead to more countries recognising Kosovo's independence and move Pristina closer to entry into the UN. At present, Kosovo's statehood is backed by 69 countries but it requires more than 100 before it can join the UN.

Announcing the decision, the court of justice president, Hisashi Owada, said international law contains no "prohibition on declarations of independence".

Although both Belgrade and Pristina had said they were confident of a ruling in their favour, speculation began to emerge a few hours before today's announcement in the Hague that the decision - which is not legally binding - had gone Kosovo's way."
