Abstract
On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine. After more than two years, this conflict has caused an uncountable number of victims and more than six million Ukrainian refugees are spread around the world begging for protection and safe harbour. This ongoing conflict and the increasing level of force, the questionable nature of means and methods of warfare used begs the question whether international institutions in general, and International Law in particular, are still effective means “to maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead.” (Article 1 UNC).
