Uluslararası Hukukta Kuvvet Kullanımı Çerçevesinde Rusya'nın Gürcistan, Kırım ve Ukrayna Müdahaleleri

Abstract

Rusya’nın son müdahalesinin yarattığı Ukrayna Krizi ile birlikte uluslararası hukuk yeniden sorgulanmaya başlanmıştır. Uluslararası hukukta kuvvet kullanımı üzerinden yapılan bu sorgulama devletlerin çeşitlenen müdahale gerekçeleri üzerinden ilerlemektedir. Uluslararası hukukta kuvvet kullanımının belirli istisnaları olmasına rağmen zamanla devletlerin kuvvet kullanma nedenleri çeşitlenmiştir. İşte bu çalışma, Rusya’nın Gürcistan, Kırım ve Ukrayna müdahalelerinin gerekçelerine odaklanacaktır. Dolayısıyla, çalışma ilk olarak kuvvet kullanımının değişen içeriği üzerinde duracak, sonrasında ise Rusya özelinde, yapılan üç müdahalenin nedenleri üzerinden bir karşılaştırma yapacaktır.

Russia's Interventions in Georgia, Crimea and Ukraine in the Framework of the Use of Force in International Law

Abstract

The Ukrainian Crisis, triggered by Russia's latest intervention, has prompted a renewed examination of international law. This scrutiny revolves around the diverse justifications employed by states for the use of force within the realm of international law. Despite the existence of certain exceptions allowing the use of force, the reasons behind states' employment of such measures have evolved over time, becoming more multifaceted. The present study aims to focus on the rationales behind Russia's interventions in Georgia, Crimea, and Ukraine. Consequently, the investigation will initially delve into the changing nature of the use of force, followed by a comparative analysis of the reasons underlying Russia's three interventions, all within the framework of academic discourse.
