Toshiki Mogami on the Impact of International Law in Times of War
In April 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused the UN Security Council to be inefficient with regard to Russia’s aggression and posed the question whether the time for international law is gone. In a contribution for the “Cambridge Core Blog,” Toshiki Mogami analyzes these accusations and concludes that revisions of the Charter provisions of the security system are necessary. At the same time, he cautions to uphold a minimum multilateralism to avoid the total collapse into conflicting camps. The contribution was published on 12 October 2022.
Toshiki Mogami is Visiting Professor at the Institute for European Global Studies, specialized in International Law and Organization. He has taught for more than three decades at the International Christian University, Tokyo, where he was also Director of the Peace Research Institute and the Rotary Peace Center for many years. His research covers a wide area of topics: most principally the law and institutions of the United Nations system, international security law, theory of international law, among others. Recently, he has been deepening his interest in the history of international law and of international organization.
