Russian misuse of international law is final nail in coffin of post WW2 order [Blog post]

Focusing on the role of the United Nations Security Council, the blog post discusses the implications of the Ukraine war for the current international legal order. In particular, the author argues that the distortion of arguments based on international law and the position of those making them have, completed the destruction of a collective security system no longer suitable to prevent global armed conflict. This is not – or not only – an intrinsic flaw in the system’s design, but the inevitable by-product of intentional actions carried out by those who ought to have been most interested in preserving it.
