00:00Does seizing frozen Russian assets break international law?

00:07European leaders and MEPs have been ramping up calls to seize 274 billion euros in frozen Russian assets

00:15to support Ukraine's military and help rebuild the country.

00:18They were frozen by the EU, US and allies after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

00:24Meanwhile, other politicians have been wary of such a move due to the potential legal repercussions.

00:30The majority of these assets are held in the securities depository Euroclear, which is based in Belgium.

00:36The money was originally in short-term government bonds held as reserves for the Russian central bank,

00:41but those bonds have now matured and are piling up.

00:44Russia has called the plans illegal, so what does international law say about this?

00:49If there is a court order that orders governments to seize the assets of Russia,

00:57that court order would be illegal under international law and under domestic law, which imports international law.

01:05However, if there is an executive decision by the government to seize the asset, that could bypass potentially this.

01:13Seizing Russian assets would only be legal if the decision was enacted as a countermeasure.

01:18It's not a retribution, it's to induce compliance.

01:22So Russia should have the opportunity to say,

01:26I'm sorry, I'm going to rectify whatever, I'm going to pay damages,

01:32and then you leave my assets, you don't touch them.

01:35Second, countermeasures must be temporary, that cannot be indefinite.

01:40In May 2024, EU member states did, however, begin using interest from frozen assets to finance Ukraine's military effort.

01:50While Russia labelled this theft, it was permitted under international law, as it is considered a temporary measure.
