It spells out, in one place, the law you need to know to understand the crisis,\u201d commented Razom General Counsel Ivanna Bilych. Lidiya Dukhovich, Esq., Director of the Institute of Modern Russia, added, that \u201carmed conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a tragedy. The report explains the legal stakes, but no report can explain adequately the terrifying human stakes for both Russia and Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the light of the legal analysis, the authors made their recommendations for Ukraine, Russia and the international community. Thus, they recommend that the international community refrain from recognizing Crimea as a part of Russia. They should also uphold the sanctions they have already imposed on Russian and former Ukrainian officials, while considering new, harsher sanctions should Russia further violate international law.<\/p>\n<p>In case of Russian troops crossing into Eastern Ukraine, the international community is recommended to condemn such action and consider appropriate countermeasures. It should also provide training, capacity building and other civilian support to the Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time Russia is reasonably called to pursue negotiations directly with Ukraine to find a political, non-violent resolution to the crisis. The aggressor is further advised to withdraw its troops from Crimea and from the Eastern Ukrainian border, and to prevent the creation of any further frozen conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>Among recommendations for Ukraine, the authors see fit for Kyiv to bring claims against Russia in the European Court of Human Rights on a wide range of human rights violations (unauthorized use of force, unauthorized annexation of Crimea, violation of indigenous people\u2019s rights, and Ukrainian citizens\u2019 voting rights, etc).<\/p>\n<p>The international team prepared their Report as pro bono service while studying at NYU School of Law.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mace-gallery-teaser\"\n\tid=\"mace-gallery-12063-1\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery-title=\"\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery=\"[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:12065,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;UN-Flags_8870&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/05\\\/UN-Flags_8870-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/05\\\/UN-Flags_8870.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/05\\\/UN-Flags_8870.jpg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:12066,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;un-headquarters&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/05\\\/un-headquarters-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/05\\\/un-headquarters.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2014\\\/05\\\/un-headquarters.jpg&quot;}]\"\n\tdata-g1-share-shortlink=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/en\/2689-un-headquarters-reviews-legal-dimensions-of-ukraine-crisis#mace-gallery-12063-1\"\n\t>\n\t<a class=\"mace-gallery-teaser-poster\">\n\t\t<img width=\"600\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/UN-Flags_8870.jpg\" class=\"attachment-bimber-grid-standard-2x size-bimber-grid-standard-2x\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/UN-Flags_8870.jpg 600w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/UN-Flags_8870-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t<span class=\"mace-gallery-teaser-button\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"g1-epsilon g1-epsilon-1st mace-gallery-teaser-button-text\">View Gallery<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"g1-meta mace-gallery-teaser-button-counter\">\n\t\t\t\t2 images\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyiv, May 8, 2014.
