The European continent is once again ravaged by war. The destruction is incalculable, the loss of human lives and displacement is great and tragic. This is a war that has violated fundamental international norms, prohibiting the threat of force and the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

The Faculty of Law of the University of Zagreb condemns the military activities of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine and expresses solidarity with the people of Ukraine and all those affected by this aggression. As a community of legal scholars and scholars of other related disciplines, we are aware of the importance of the right of all nations and individuals to security and the importance of the rule of law. We are committed to ending the aggression and preserving all human life.
