Abstract
Nearly two years have passed since the Russian aggression against Ukraine started in February 2022. However, there appears to be no prospect for a ceasefire. The long duration of this situation, which fundamentally undermines the prohibition of the use of force and flatly disregards rules on armed conflict, was unexpected. The international order thus faces a critical situation, but a calm and objective analysis is still necessary. Such a perspective is significant as it helps to maintain the rule of law in the international community over the long run, while simultaneously shedding light on possible constraints that other States have in relation to the aggressor State. This article analyzes the legal aspects of the war in Ukraine, focusing on rules concerning the prohibition of the use of force and the law of neutrality.
期刊介绍：
The Journal aims to explore the implications of various traditions of international law, as well as more current perceived hegemonic trends for the idea of an international community. The Journal will also look at the ways and means in which the international community uses and adapts international law to deal with new and emerging challenges. Non-state actors , intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, individuals, peoples, transnational corporations and civil society as a whole - have changed our outlook on contemporary international law. In addition to States and intergovernmental organizations, they now play an important role.
