Russia and Ukraine have been fighting for more than 7 months. Why do the two sides declare war on each other?
Since Russia took the lead in launching a special military operation against Ukraine on February 24 this year, the war has been going on for more than seven months, and the intensity of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people who have lost more and more wars on both sides is getting bigger and bigger, but both sides, especially Russia, who are in the first move, have not declared war on each other yet.
Why is this?
is analyzed from the perspective of international law.
1. If the two countries start to conflict, the difference between declared war without declaring war
Theoretically, once a war is declared between countries, the following legal consequences must be borne;
1. It means that the two countries have officially entered a state of war. 2. Both sides of the war must be bound by all war regulations in international law, and bear certain responsibilities and enjoy relevant rights and interests.
Such as the " Geneva Convention " related to prisoners of war,
, and the "Convention on the Prohibition of Biochemical Weapons" related to the ban on biochemical and biological weapons, ,
, 'Convention on the Prohibition of Biochemical Weapons', 'Convention on the Prohibition of Biochemical Weapons', 'Convention on the Prohibition of Biochemical Weapons', 'Convention on the Prohibition of Biochemical Weapons', 'Convention on the Prohibition of Bioweapons', etc.
3. Once war is declared, both sides will regard the residents living in their own country as citizens of the enemy country, and these residents cannot be protected by the country of residence.
4. Once the diplomatic relations between the two countries have been declared, the exchanges and negotiations between the two sides must be carried out through third countries or international organizations.
Therefore, when the two countries conflict, they will not easily declare war
For example:
China has started the 9.18 Incident in 1931, especially after Japan launched the 7.7 Incident in 1937, China and Japan have engaged in large-scale wars. The Chinese people fought bloody battles to fight against the Japanese invaders, but this is the reason why China declared war on Japan until the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident in 1941.
2. Do not declare war directly. The opponent's allies or allies generally will not easily send troops to help with the war.
3. Do not declare war directly. You can leave the initiative to stop or cease the war on the party that provokes the trouble.
In short, the light-intensity war behavior of both sides or several parties will not easily declare war on the other party.
