PENYERANGAN RUSIA TERHADAP UKRAINA DITINJAU DARI HUKUM INTERNASIONAL

Abstract

Sending Russian military troops into a sovereign state territory to carry out occupations
and special military operations according to international law is a form of violation of state
sovereignty or what is known as an invasion. This is an act that violates international peace
and is rejected by the international community because it gives many bad influences to the
international legal order which influence one another. Besides that, the act of attacking the
sovereignty of other countries is also contrary to the theory of sovereignty to international
customs.

as "legal research". which means that legal research is conceptualized as what is written in
laws and regulations (law in book) or law. Regarding how International Law responds to the
attack carried out by Russia against Ukraine as a violation of International Law which is

The status of the attack carried out by Russia against Ukraine according to
international law is aggression according to what is stipulated in the UN General Resolution,
because the invasion or military attack carried out by Russia against Ukraine is a form of
aggression recognized by international law. As a violation of international law in general,
Russia as the aggressor must be legally responsible. The legal responsibility of the aggressor
according to International Law is regulated as the definition of aggression was first regulated
in the UN General Resolution by giving power to the UN Security Council. Legal accountability

(International Court of Justice) and individual accountability at the ICC (International
Criminal Court).
