Russia-Ukraine and Restoration World Cooperation Institution

Discussion and debate about a Russian military attack on Ukrainian territory have been a rising topic for the past two weeks. The attack was described by many as a short attack to warn Ukraine not to play politics that could be seen as endangering Russia. But now the attack in question has entered its third week, which, according to some analysts, is entering the phase of determining whether it will be long or end here.

 

Whatever the reason, military attacks that take human lives cannot be justified, and they are enemies of humanity. The victims who fall from the two warring parties are the victims of humanity due to the failure of international cooperation mechanisms to create a world of peace, upholding humanity, and justice. We cannot justify any reason that could prolong the humanitarian crisis that is imminent.

 

The existence of NATO as a product of World War II, which to this day still exists despite the existence of a world body, the United Nations, is an anomaly in the imagination of global relations after the world war. The absence of other defence pacts besides NATO makes this defense pact seem to be a judge for other countries that also have geopolitical defence interests.

 

The use of the term "invasion" for Russia's action while agreeing to Israel's attack on the grounds of defence before being attacked by other country is a dualism that confuses the public, likewise in the case of American attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other nations. NATO seems to justify its members who attack humanity in non-member countries while judging as invasion to other countries who doing the same with similar argument.

 

The United Nations which only grants the Security Council veto power to 5 permanent member states with a unanimous consensus mechanism for decision making is felt to hamper world peace. This mechanism, although it has been criticized from the start by many other countries, is still in effect today. This also makes the UN Security Council resolution for Ukraine-Russia peace deadlocked. The democratisation glorified by members of NATO as the great way, is far from being practiced at the UN.

 

As an independent country, Ukraine's eagerness to become part of NATO is seen as an attempt to protect the country. However, what Russia sees to Ukraine plan is also not to blame. While NATO is the world's only major military defence pact in the world, Russia will certainly perceive this as a threat to its defences. War is an absolute enemy of humanity on one hand; however, the will of state sovereignty and national defence cannot be ruled out.
