| Abstract: | 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. |
