Roger Gherson quoted on the “Peace Negotiations Over Ukraine” for The Legal Diary

Roger Gherson, Senior Partner at Gherson Solicitors LLP, has provided commentary in the Legal Comment of the Week on the topic ‘Peace’ Negotiations Over Ukraine for The Legal Diary:

“Three and a half years into the war, it is clear that sanctions have not worked.

The sanctions regime has undermined the rule of law, the separation of powers and our entire legal system. The protections in Western democracies for individual human and property rights have been seriously weakened. Continued sanctions will not solve the problem but will only polarize the situation further. The only solution will be for the two sides to sit down across the table and reach a compromise.

The vested interests of different parties have so far prevented this, but ultimately this war will be brought to an end by negotiation and compromise, not sanctions, which have failed miserably to solve the problem”.
