EFILA Statement on the Russian aggression against Ukraine
The European Federation for Investment Law and Arbitration (EFILA) stands in solidarity with our Ukrainian colleagues and the Ukrainian people against the violence they are facing and fully endorses the statements of many other international non-governmental organizations such as the IBA, ASIL, ESIL and the Swiss Association of International Law on the Russian aggression against Ukraine:
- The Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine violates the most basic principles of the UN Charter and of international law.
- The Russian Federation is responsible under international law for all acts of aggression against Ukraine and its war on a sovereign, independent Ukraine is unlawful.
EFILA stands for the respect of the Rule of Law in Europe and for the effective protection of all investors and all investments throughout Europe, including Ukraine.
More importantly, we stand in solidarity with our Ukrainian colleagues, and the people of Ukraine, against the violence they are currently enduring.
This is a very sombre day for Ukraine, for Europe, and for the world.
However, our resolve in preserving and promoting the Rule of Law in Europe has never been stronger.
