In 1954 it became part of Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic under Soviet Union. But in 1991 it became part of independent Ukraine as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

Russia used the force in Crimea Crisis and took the advantage of political instability and violates all the laws then how can this annexation be justified. Although Russia claims that the annexation of Crimea is fair as referendum shows the Crimean in the favor of union with Russia but it cannot be justified because it is against the international law of state integrity, against the Russia's own Constitution and it harms global peace.
             The Russian annexation of Crimea is against the international law of state integrity and sovereignty which states: All members of United Nations shall refrain in their international relations from threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state or in any other manner inconsistent with the purpose of United Nations.
