Abstract
The United States’ leadership of Western opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the correct response. No question. The entire international system of States is based upon Westphalian notions of sovereign equality, border inviolability, territorial integrity, political independence, and autonomy. Russia violated each of these norms in its treatment of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin is trampling key provisions of the U.N. Charter enshrining them as law.
