Written by a team of international lawyers from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean,

this book analyses some of the most significant aspects of the ongoing armed conflict

between the Russian Federation and Ukraine.

As challenging as this conflict is for the international legal order, it also offers lessons

to be learned by the States concerned, and by other States alike. The book analyses

the application of international law in this conflict, and suggests ways for this law’s

progressive development.

It will be useful to practitioners of international law working at national Ministries

of Defence, Justice, and Foreign Affairs, as well as in Parliaments, to lawyers of

international organizations, and to national and international judges dealing with

matters of public international law, international humanitarian law and criminal law.

It willalso be of interest to scholars and students of international law, and to historians

of international relations.
