The Security and Law Programme dedicated its third Security and Law: A Reality Check event to the assessment of the role of international law in the ongoing tensions between Europe and Russia. Does international law channel and alleviate the political conflict? Or does the contest over legitimacy and legal justification of actions fuel the dispute and strain political compromise? With these questions the moderator Tobias Vestner, Cluster Leader, Security and Law Programme, kicked off the panel discussions in Geneva and Brussels.
