The IBA writes
The invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces has violated international law, put international security at risk and caused a humanitarian crisis. The International Bar Association is an organisation with the promotion and protection of the rule of law and human rights at the centre of its mission and as such is compelled to speak out. On this page you will find our statements on the situation and Global Insight coverage of this and related issues in the form of articles, podcasts and films.
This act by President Putin is a watershed moment that indisputably violates international law. Member States of the United Nations have, since 1945, agreed that territory should only change hands by consent. This rule is at the centre of maintaining international law and order between States. The IBA, founded to promote and protect the rule of law, strongly condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.’
