A lot of conversation is being made of war crimes in Bucha (and other parts of Ukraine) and Russia’s potential utilization of weapons of mass destruction. All with good reason of course.
However, how does the fact that Russia has engaged in a war of aggression play into the consideration of all this. Couldn’t the fact that this was an unprovoked military action against Ukraine be sufficient to be a war crime in and of itself?
Btw—looking towards a career in international law myself.
