A new international security framework needs to be created whereby every country will feel secure that it won't be invaded at the whim and unilateral decision of more powerful countries.Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and its intervention on that country's internal affairs constitute a serious breach of international law. According to the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg,"War is essentially an evil thing.
Current Russian military actions in Ukraine are clear violations of the Geneva Convention of 1949, particularly its attacks against civilians who are not participating in hostilities. The Russian army has blockaded thousands of Ukrainian civilians in the basements on churches, theaters, and subway stations in conditions of near starvation. The 1949 Geneva Conventions have been ratified by all Member States of the United Nations, which are then bound by its tenets.
The case was decided in 1986 by the International Court of Justice . The ICJ ruled in favor of Nicaragua and against the United States, and awarded reparations to the Nicaraguan government. According to the ICJ, the actions of the U.S. against Nicaragua violated international law. The U.S. resisted participating in the proceedings after the Court rejected its argument that the ICJ lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.
