ウクライナのクリミア半島がロシアに組み込まれそうです。ウクライナもクリミアも英語での発音は日本語とは違いますね。ニュースを聞いていたらちょっと前に読んだNoam Chomskyの "Hopes and Prospects" にあった次の一節を思い出しました。
International law cannot be enforced against powerful states, except by their own populations. That is always a difficult task, particularly so when articulate opinion declares crime to be legitimate, either explicitly of by tacit adoption of a criminal framework, which is more insidious because it renders the crime invisible.
クリミアの場合は住民の多くがロシア系なので問題はより複雑ですね。
