International commitments preclude NATO states from admitting Ukraine as a NATO member.
Francis A Boyle 7 Feb 22, Under basic principles of international law, high level government officials acting within the scope of their official authority can bind a State under international law. It does not have to be in writing. Over the years I have dealt with some of the top Soviet/Russian International Lawyers. They know these Rules as well as I do.
Clearly, these commitments would preclude the concerned NATO States from admitting Ukraine as a NATO Member. It is time for them to put this binding commitment into writing as Russia has demanded in order to solve this matter.
