Abstract
Article 2 of the United Nations Charter stipulates that UN members settle international disputes by peaceful means and refrain from the threat or use of force. This commitment represents the most important agreement humankind has constructed in international relations after World War II. In defiance of this agreement, Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. This article first discusses similar historical cases and notes that it is necessary for international society to stay prepared for similar crises. On the premise that such emergencies will continue to recur, the author presents eight lessons that should be learned by the international community from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
