Law Library of Congress Webinar on The Most Improbable War: Legal Transformations in Ukraine and Russia Before and During the Invasion

The Law Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. is hosting a webinar next Thursday, June 16 at 2PM Eastern time on The Most Improbable War: Legal Transformations in Ukraine and Russia Before and During the Invasion:

"This entry in the series, which is cosponsored by the Law Library of Congress and the Foreign, Comparative, and International Law Special Interest Section (FCIL-SIS) of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), will provide an overview of the historic roots of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, including: reviewing information about the background of the Crimean and East Ukrainian territorial problem, which escalated into current war; providing an overview of treaties and agreements between Ukraine and Russia; reviewing laws regulating the use of arms in both countries; and examining legal regimes created in Ukraine and Russia before and during the invasion. Further, an analysis and comparison of legislation recently passed in Ukraine and Russia, coupled with Ukrainian legal scholars’ discussion of a so-called “juridical front,” provides an interesting picture of the situation on the ground and suggests how it may develop in the future. Resources available to research the laws of Ukraine will also be introduced during the presentation."
