Episode 14: From Russia With War

In this episode Dapo Akande, Marko Milanovic and Philippa Webb,
joined by Rebecca Barber and Mike Becker, examine various aspects
of Russia’s war on Ukraine. The discussion begins with an
evaluation of Russia’s legal justification for invading Ukraine,
moving to an analysis of the responses to Russia’s aggression by
the UN General Assembly and the Security Council. We then turn to
the proceedings brought by Ukraine against Russia before the
International Court of Justice pursuant to the Genocide
Convention, the investigation initiated by the Prosecutor of the
International Criminal Court, the commission of inquiry created
by the Human Rights Council, and the pros and cons of an
initiative to set up a Special Tribunal for the Crime of
Aggression.
