20.500.12556/ReVIS-14141 The war in Ukraine some international legal and political aspects This paper addresses the ongoing war in Ukraine. It argues that Russia's use of force against Ukraine, both in 2014 with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, and today as we witness the aggression launched by the Russian Federation in February 2022, signifies a breach of international law, and provides no sound or justifiable reasons for its legitimacy. Even though the United Nations Security Council is paralyzed and thus cannot adopt a “hard” resolution exercising its primary responsibility for international peace and security, the vast support of the international community for Ukraine's efforts and a broad condemnation of Russian aggression are evident in the General Assembly's “soft” resolutions. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the political considerations triggered by Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and some thoughts on the need for a lasting, just, and indeed a sustainable peace. use of force aggression international law international politics Ukraine Russian Federation mednarodno pravo agresija uporaba sile Ukrajina Rusija true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-07-02 11:51:25 2026-07-02 11:51:25 2026-07-03 03:12:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 92-109 no. 1 Vol. 10 2024 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-03-01 341.3 2049-0887 188494083 10.1504/IJDIPE.2024.137127 The_war_in_Ukraine__some_international_legal_and_political_aspects.pdf The_war_in_Ukraine__some_international_legal_and_political_aspects.pdf 1 9E0B22EDC1CE5D7CD5C58585A167FC7A 0e8a2942b2f9571b3e64170ccef52cda08fe406b1f56c82f6b0649831a346c07 ec16b2ab-75fb-11f1-a2b4-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=17145 Nova Univerza - Evropska pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
