Professor Michael Bazyler is due to publish The Ukraine War Law Handbook with co-authors Michael Bryant, Noëlle Quénivet, Ashot Agaian and Lydia Korostelova in late 2023 Carolina Academic Press. This is the first legal text on the Ukraine War and this e-book is divided into 5 parts: Part I: Ukrainian History, Law, and Politics; Part II: Assisting the Victims; Part III: Violations of International Law; Part IV: Rebuilding A Postwar Ukraine and the Law; and Part V: Back to the USSR: Russian Law After the 2022 Invasion and other relevant legislation.

Each chapter will have primary source documents (laws, court judgments and other significant legal materials); explanatory text and commentary; and suggestions for further reading. Written and compiled by scholars of international law and Ukrainian law, it aims to serve as the “go-to” legal text for those researching or seeking to understand the new world legal order being created after Russia’s 2014 and 2022 invasions of Ukraine and the ongoing war, the largest in Europe since the Second World War. The Ukraine War Law Handbook is designed for practitioners in international law, teachers seeking an accessible summary of law relevant to the conflict, and students searching to expand their understanding of the Ukraine War as a legal event.
