Ukraine Beyond Aggression: Legal Responses to Russia's Invasion in 2022 and its Consequences
University of Nottingham, School of Law
Event Information
On 21 February 2024; 14:00 - 17:30 (GMT), the Human Rights Law Centre and the Nottingham Centre for International Law and Security will host a conference showcasing a broad range of research related to Russia’s war against Ukraine examined within the framework of international law. As we approach the two-year mark since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this event presents an opportune moment for critical reflection on the role and efficacy of international law in addressing this conflict. A keynote address will be given by Judge Mykola Gnatovskyy, Judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Ukraine, followed by a presentation from Maksym Demydenko of the Ukraine War Archive. There will also be presentations from a range of speakers on various topics related to the conflict, including its historical roots, the ongoing refugee crisis, purported justifications for the use of force in Ukraine, civilian harm and international humanitarian law, international responses to the conflict, accountability efforts, legal responsibility, and more.
The event will be held in person and online. Full event details and free registration available here.
