Сrimean Crime – consequences for the international law and politics

Crimea`s annexation has caused a serious concern in Central and Eastern Europe. The Russian position toward international law and territorial integrity of its neighbours has become an urgent political, legal and research problem. Crimea is now occupied by Russia - what are the legal ways out of this situation?  What can and cannot be expected from international law? Is an international order possible without international law? We would like to start a discussion with the book "The Case of Crime's Annexation Under International Law", a new publication issued by the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, The Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Scholar Publishing House.
