ABSTRACT
Missiles slicing through the air and slamming into buildings and exploding, clouds of smoke emanating from housing complexes, people taking shelter in sub urban from shelling, crowd struggling to board trains, are the most doom scenes when war ensues; the scenes resemble from Taliban taking control over Afghanistan. Ukraine has become the victim in contestation of two major superpowers. The most destructive source is war, which can undermine a country's economy and destroys hope of survival. War can be defined as a form of mini-genocide in which everything and everyone who comes into contact with it is shattered, it has led to biggest refugee crisis after WWII. The globe is turned upside down as a result of the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine. The crisis, which began under the guise of a "special military operation" announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, has taken a turn for the worst. It should be underlined that this is a flagrant violation of established international norms and procedures. It is a barbaric murder of the United Nations Charter, which exists expressly to protect member countries' integrity, thereby empowering them. Ironically, the Russian president has said unambiguously that his barefaced acts are justified by many international rules. Deciphering what is contained within these laws, as well as the amount to which they have been abused and violated, becomes critical. Even in the rarest of circumstances, war cannot triumph against natural peace and harmony, no matter how evidently it is justified.
