| Impact statement: This publication draws attention to the tendency of legal and academic discourse to focus on war crimes and crimes against humanity while comparatively neglecting the crime of aggression. By highlighting this inconsistency, the article encourages more balanced and principled engagement with violations of international law. The publication contributes to scholarly and public debates on accountability, the prohibition of the use of force, and the role of legal academics in shaping international legal discourse and policy discussions. | Collaboration: None | Keywords: Crime of aggression, international law, Ukraine, Russia, selectivity, legal academy, use of force, accountability |
