The website of the ICJ stills seems to be overwhelmed by users so here is the advisory opinion as a pdf: ICJ Advisory Opinion Kosovo. More coverage will follow.

I’ve posted links to the dissenting and separate opinions on my blog.

I still think it’s odd that a declaration of independence can be seen as illegal. But maybe that’s because I’m an American.
To Joe,
Why “because I’m an American”? I’m interested in it.
I think UDI by Kosovo is merely an internal thing. International law doesn’t prohibit such a thing , but
if UDI is not accordance with International law, it would be illegal. Accordingly I think ICJ’s advisory opinion is appropriate.
