Abstract

The West, under the leadership of the US, EU and NATO, claims to be defending a rules-based international order by way of its support for Ukraine, including its call for full accountability. Regrettably, however, this claim fails to fully convince given the inconsistencies in the West’s approach to international (criminal) law. I will develop this counterclaim in three steps: first, I will argue that the Western approach to the Russian aggression is by no means universally accepted, especially not in the Global South (Part 2). Secondly, I will try to explain, at least partly, the reason for this limited support by pointing out both historical and more recent Western inconsistencies with regard to international law (Part 3). On this basis I will then, by way of conclusion, call for (greater) Western consistency in international law, while formulating some caveats at the same time (Part 4).

乌克兰和西方的双重标准
在美国、欧盟和北约的领导下,西方声称通过对乌克兰的支持来捍卫基于规则的国际秩序,包括呼吁全面问责。然而,令人遗憾的是,鉴于西方对国际(刑事)法的态度不一致,这种说法未能完全令人信服。我将分三步阐述这一反诉:首先,我将论证西方对俄罗斯侵略的态度绝不是被普遍接受的,尤其是在全球南方(第2部分)。其次,我将试图通过指出西方在国际法方面的历史和最近的不一致来解释,至少部分地解释这种有限支持的原因(第3部分)。在此基础上,我将通过结论的方式,呼吁(更大的)西方在国际法上的一致性。同时提出一些注意事项(第4部分)。
