Happy first weekend of spring and happy Oscars night everybody! So many things to be excited about!
There are a lot of exciting (although worrisome) news in world affairs as well thes days…
“Maidan” v. Yanukovych et al.: Ukraine and the ICC?
While Ukraine never even signed the Rome Statute, one of the first decisions of the new leadership was to prosecute Yanukovych and a few of his men at the ICC. Whether it will be possible to put him on trial (at the ICC or anywhere) is another question.
Obama to Putin: ‘There Will Be Costs’ To Invading Crimea
This is a very delicate situation, mainly because a significant mass of people in Crimea actually want Russia to intervene. Whether there still is a way to peacefully resolve this conflict will unfold in the coming days.
Cutting Uganda’s Aid is a Morally Dubious Proposition
Many suggested these days that cutting Uganda’s aid would be a proper response to the condemnable anti-gay legislation. But really, it wouldn’t.
What is the Domestic Legal Basis for Planned Cyberattacks in Syria?
It’s more of an analysis of US domestic law than international law, I still find it interesting. As the Obama administration did not find enough legal ground for missile attacks against Syria they find none for cyberattacks either. Yet.
