This panel addresses Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine as part of a wider set of issues with broad implications for national
security and human rights. Topics include the Neutrality Act and modernizing
the law; the likely trajectory of the war, including the character and risks of
current military and political strategies seeking to isolate Russia; historical
consideration of the significance of pathologies resulting from the collapse of
the Soviet Union that are now manifesting themselves in the war against
Ukraine; and the surprising ways in which the Ukraine war has reinvigorated
international law and international institutions in a variety of areas.
Business meeting at program conclusion.
