ICJ Validates Kosovo's Independence; Rejects Serbia's Argument of Illegal Secession

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands, today (July 22, 2010)validated Kosovo's declaration of independence, and rejected Belgrade's argument that the declaration had no legal basis, according to the Serbianna website.

The ICJ judged that Kosovo's independence from Serbia in 2008 was not illegal under international law.

The opinion also said that the Resolution 1244 and the Constitutional court in Kosovo are legal frames for resolution of Kosovo's status.

The ICJ did not approve a right to separation and has referred the matter to the United Nations for solution.

The vote was 9 in favor and 5 against.
