| Abstract [eng] |
This work analyses the roles of the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly under the UN Charter and Uniting for Peace Resolution related to the full-scale invasion by Russian Federation against Ukraine on the 24th of February 2022. It examines the deadlock of the UN Security Council and the role of the UN General Assembly in giving response to an act of aggression, posing threat to international peace and security and questions legacy of usage of veto and abstain from voting in the UN Security Council. Master thesis overviews the issues of legality of a permanent member’s use of veto which supports its own jus cogens violation. The establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine is an important step forward towards ensuring justice for Ukraine in the context of the ongoing aggression, but the mechanism of enforcing principles and purposes of the UN Charter shows that comprehensive response to an act of aggression still raises complex legal and political challenges for the international community. |
