Published Paper
Article Details
He current Russia – Ukraine crisis has raised certain intrinsic questions as to the existence
and efficacy of International Laws and Organizations.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian Federation President, in his imperialistic speech declared a special
military operation in order to protect people who had been abused by Genocide for eight years
under the Kyiv regime and shall strive to demilitarize and de-nazify Ukraine and bring those to
justice who had committed crimes against the civilians of Russian Federation. Paradoxically,
Mr Putin has cited international law to defend his blatant illegal actions. But these justifications
are laughably weak, erroneous and absurd. The present crisis has posed a question as to the
existence and enforcement of international law if Russia can still use military force and invade
Ukraine.
Formation of the United Nations has created new order of International Relations, placing its
bedrock on the sovereignty and integrity of a nation. The member countries of the United
Nations are duty bound to not interfere with one another’s domestic and internal affairs, as
apart from violating the UN Charter, it leads to circumstances which threatens the peace and
security of a nation.
