Summary/Abstract: The Ukrainian crisis ongoing since December 2013 has demonstrated clearly how rapidly a situation may pass out of control, and how bad the consequences can be if efforts made by parties involved, as well as third parties are motivated politically and not sincere. For its part, the international community as represented by both the United Nations and regional organisations has demonstrated its inability to act rapidly, effectively, in accordance with international law and without resort to double standards. It is the legal assessment of the effectiveness of this response from both the United Nations and regional organisations that is the key focus of this article, as different aspects of the crisis in Ukraine are concerned.
