Anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum: Time to Remind the Nuclear World of Obligations to Ukraine

A professional discussion titled “Anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum: Time to Remind the Nuclear World of Its Obligations to Ukraine” will take place on December 5 at 15:00. 📍 On December 5, 1994, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, which established a number of mutual commitments that are clearly not being fulfilled (or not fully fulfilled) by the parties. 🔴 – Has this document “finally died,” or can it still be of use today? 🖇️ – What lessons must we take into account as we search for an optimal or realistic security model for Ukraine? 📌 – Is it time to conduct an inventory of Ukraine’s international legal obligations in a world that once operated on norms and rules, but is now shifting to a different model? ‼️ The discussion, featuring renowned experts in international relations and international law, will address the issue of obtaining reliable, long-term, and legally formalized security guarantees for Ukraine. ☢️ Threats from the Russian aggressor to use nuclear weapons and the escalation of a strategic arms race take on an entirely new significance in the context of finding a way out of the full-scale war and developing an effective model of European and global security. ⚠️ A top priority for Ukraine — which joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and is now being blackmailed by the aggressor with strategic weapons (including the systematic use of potential nuclear delivery systems against civilian infrastructure) — is the effective use of international obligations at a time when the power of force is beginning to outweigh the force of law. 🔍 SPEAKERS: -Olha Butkevych, President of the Ukrainian Association of International Law, Doctor of Juridical Sciences, Professor of the International Law Department at the Institute of International Relations, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv -Pavlo Klimkin, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (2014–2019) -Valeriy Chaly, Chairman of the Board of UCMC, member of the Ukrainian Association of International Law, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States (2015–2019) Moderator: Viktor Shlinchak, Chairman of the Board of the Institute of World Policy 🔅 The event is held within the framework of the project “United by Truth” with the support of the Canada Ukraine Foundation #unitedfortruth
