THE LEGAL STATUS OF INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO COMBAT IN THE UKRAINIAN WAR - CAN THEY ENJOY THE PRIVILEGES OF PRISONERS OF WAR (POW)? ~ by Olubor Uyi Esq. Since the commencement of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. We have witnessed a situation where parties to the conflict have called upon volunteers across the world to enlist in their respective armed forces to participate in the ongoing war. This demand has resulted in a situation where a lot of persons across the world are volunteering to participate in the war.

Tomorrow, the fourth of October 2024 promises to be a very important day or better still a day that might mark the future of football for eternity.  For those who are still at a loss as to what I am talking about. I believe we all remember Lassana Diarra, the ex  french national team player and ex Chelsea and Real Madrid player. Sometimes in 2014, he was hired by Locomotiv Moscow of Russia. Then, not so long after his employment, he began to have issues with his employers which centred around a drastic reduction in his salary.
