These
judgments
address
events
which
occurred
subsequently
to
the
killing
of
the
two
Lithuanian
national
partisans
as
part
of
the
Soviet
policy
to
destroy
Lithuanian
national
resistance
,
yet
the
ICJ
’s
interpretation
of
the
Genocide
Convention
is
not
revolutionary
.
On
the
contrary
,
the
ICJ
traces
very
carefully
the
intent
of
the
drafters
of
that
Convention
,
which
predates
the
events
in
Lithuania
.
It
states
that
it
determined
certain
matters
of
principle
in
1951
which
were
“
recalled
”
in
2007
.
The
ICJ
interprets
Article
II
of
the
Genocide
Convention
as
it
was
adopted
in
1948
.
I
take
the
position
that
the
ICJ
’s
case
-
law
is
the
appropriate
authority
for
our
Court
as
concerns
the
understanding
of
the
scope
and
content
of
the
relevant
concepts
in
Article
II
.
