Description
The Trial of Vladimir Putin by Geoffrey Robertson offers a unique perspective on international law and its application to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The author, a renowned human rights lawyer, examines the legal consequences of Russia's invasion, including the limitations of the United Nations Charter and the challenges of bringing Putin to trial. Robertson explores the International Criminal Court charges already faced by Putin and considers the implications of a potential amnesty for his future involvement in any peace agreement. He also delves into the concept of pre-emptive self-defence and its relevance to Putin's actions, raising questions about the validity of such a defence at an international trial. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the legal aspects of the conflict, shedding light on the complexities of international law and its application in times of crisis.
