Presiding judge Owada of Japan, center behind microphone, opens the session of International Court of Justice in The Hague, Friday, April 1, 2011, as the court rules on Russia's preliminary objections to a case filed by Georgia stemming from the five-day war the two countries fought in 2008 over Georgia's breakaway provinces. Georgia complained to the International Court of Justice at the end of the brief war that Russian authorities and separatist militias murdered thousands of ethnic Georgians and displaced some 300,000 people in a two-decade campaign of discrimination in South Ossetia and Abkhazia
