How to Undermine a Fundamental Norm: The Prohibition of the Use of Force in Light of the 2023 G20 Summit Outcome Document

In this episode of the Völkerrechtliche Tagesthemen, the speaker, Alexander Grimmig, takes a look at the 2023’s G20 summit outcome document and comparing it to the previous year. The speaker focuses on how the G20 addressed the Russo-Ukraine war and how it shifted from condemning Russia’s aggression in 2022 to then not mentioning Russia in any meaningful way in 2023.

Grimmig then analyzes and contextualizes this very change of position considering the fundamental norm of the prohibition of the use of force.
