| Summary: | The research aim of this paper is to examine the Russian aggression against
Ukraine and the ensuing international armed conflict between these states in the light
of international humanitarian law. The images of the destroyed cities of Mariupol, Irpin
and Kharkov as well as the killings of civilians in Bucha shock the conscience of
mankind and raise the question of their legal classification. The author answers the
following questions: Which rules of international humanitarian law are being violated
by Russia? Do these violations reach the level of international crimes such as war
crimes, crimes against humanity or possibly genocide? |
