Mykhailo Soldatenko's essay in Lawfare argues that international law, specifically Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, was used to justify the Kennedy administration's naval blockade of Cuba but did not meaningfully constrain their decision-making. He contends that the crisis is often mischaracterized as a success for international law when in fact it demonstrated the limited value of such law in regulating state conduct.
“The crisis showed that international law was used to justify and legitimize policy choices but did not exert a meaningful constraining effect on the Kennedy administration.”
