Research Project

This research studies divergent governmental interpretation of alleged international crimes committed in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Focusing on China, Iran, the United Stated, and the European Union, it analyzes official government statements, media coverage, United Nations voting patterns, economic trade data, and democracy ratings to examine and explain such contrasting views. The central argument is that governmental interpretations of international law are conditioned by the relationship between economic and ideological factors, which determine how narrative are constructed, presented, and upheld.
