Russia's aggression against Ukraine: The question of reparation - international legal issues

ABOUT THE LECTURE
Russia’s Aggression against Ukraine challenges the international legal order at its core and raises a host of international legal issues, the question of reparation figuring prominently among them.
While the time of reparation has yet to come, the clarification of the legal basis for reparation, the definition of the latter’s scope and the discussion of how best to implement reparation in practice, should not wait. This is all the more so in view of the limited number of international precedents and the fact that a number of otherwise conceivable practical avenues are closed in the case of the Ukraine war.
In the 2023 Luther Lecture, Professor Claus Kreß will address the relevant matters from an international legal perspective, taking into account the current dynamics at the level of international diplomacy
