JIB/JAB - Episode 28: The War in Ukraine - Jus ad Bellum Implications
A conversation about the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Professors Eliav Lieblich of Tel Aviv University, Marko Milanovic of the University of Nottingham, and Ingrid Wuerth of Vanderbilt Law School. We focus on how we should be thinking about the implications of this war for the jus ad bellum regime and the collective security system going forward. While the invasion is clearly an unlawful and egregious act of aggression, have unlawful uses of force by Western states served to weaken the legal regime? Has our focus on humanitarian issues and human rights law weakened the system? Is this war a failure of the collective security system, and are the wrong lessons being drawn, particularly for nuclear non-proliferation? How should we try to restore the order going forward? A fascinating discussion about vital issues. For more info and links to materials referred to, visit our website: https://jibjabpodcast.com
