On 31 March, during the Paris Arbitration Week, UAA together with Shearman & Sterling conducted the Webinar “International Law and the War in Ukraine: The Path(s) to Reparations”.
The recording of the webinar is available HERE.
On 24 February Russian troops invaded Ukraine in blatant violation of international law. On 2 March UN General Assembly overwhelmingly (by 141 votes) adopted a resolution demanding the Russian Federation immediately end its invasion of Ukraine and unconditionally withdraw all its military forces from Ukrainian territory. However, Russia ignored that resolution and continue killing Ukrainian children, civilians, destroying civilian infrastructure and committing other crimes in Ukraine.
During the Webinar we were talking about International justice, crimes and accountability of those responsible for these crimes. Accountability is important not only as a matter of justice, but to prevent such crimes in the future.
Also we mentioned the topic of negotiations – as a tool to achieve the most realistic results.
