The provisional measures orders by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in Armenia v. Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan v. Armenia (2021), and Ukraine v.

The Court issued these provisional measures orders in a setting of ongoing tensions and a pending ongoing war, respectively.

In September 2013, officials of the Russian Federation boarded the vessel Arctic Sunrise, an icebreaker flying the flag of the Netherlands. The vessel, operated by Greenpeace International, was present in the Russian Federation's Exclusive Economic Zone in order to protest against the operation of the offshore fixed oil platform Prirazlomnaya. Russian authorities detained the Arctic Sunrise itself and all persons on board the vessel, initially based on an accusation of piracy.
