Conference recording: Russia's Aggression Against Ukraine: The Year Nobody Expected

28 February 2023

The 24th of February marks the year of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Russia’s continuing violation of the International Law principles has put fundamental values of the rule of law, democracy and human rights at stake. The year has tested European unity and the International Community’s ability to respond to major crisis of our time and has called for the review of existing legal mechanisms and developing new ways to make Russia and its individuals accountable for the atrocities in Ukraine. These and many other issues will be addressed by ambassadors, scholars and practitioners in the following three panels: Ukraine before International Organisations, International Processes for Holding Russia Accountable for its International Law Violations and Russia’s International Crimes in Ukraine: Prospects of Criminal Justice.

Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Vilniaus Universitetas and Newcastle Law School are hosting a one day conference.
