Neutrality, NATO, and the new world order
b'
This week on Inside Geneva host Imogen Foulkes discusses NATO, neutrality, and the new world order.
Is neutrality even possible in response to the invasion of Ukraine?
Sara Hellm\\xfcller, Geneva Graduate Institute: "The law of neutrality is very clear, so the law of neutrality applies to the military domain and says that a country is not allowed to participate in an armed conflict either directly or indirectly."
Neutral Finland and Sweden want to join NATO. What does that mean for their neutral status?
Daniel Warner, analyst: "Neutrality changes over time, it\\u2019s not written in stone. Not only does it have legal and political but it also has moral implications."
And does strict neutrality have any benefits at all?
Jean-Marc Rickli, Geneva Centre for Security Policy: "There will come a time when negotiations will have to take place, and neutral states are very well positioned to basically offer mediation possibility to rebuild bridges."
