So what mechanisms now exist, in the light of Ukraine, to determine the causes of the conflict and the reaffirmation and implementation, of International Law? I find the explanation and content of section 3.1 very relevant. It effectively outlines what steps Humanitarian Aid consists of. It also shows clearly that the reasons (if any relevant) for armed intervention were clearly illegal under International Law.
