The experts the Guardian spoke to agreed that the US is likely to have violated the terms of the UN charter, which was signed in October 1945 and designed to prevent another conflict on the scale of the second world war. A central provision of this agreement – known as article 2(4) – rules that states must refrain from using military force against other countries and must respect their sovereignty.
“You would have to prove those drug traffickers were threatening the sovereignty of the United States,” Breau added. “The United States is going to argue vigorously that drug trafficking is a scourge and it’s killing many people, and I agree. But a lot of international law experts have been looking at this and there wasn’t even clear evidence that those drug traffickers were from Venezuela, let alone that they were governed by Maduro in any sense.”
The guardian is the leftist mouthpiece of the Iranian islamic regime.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't rely on what they have to say
(They are also thoroughly anti-semitic)
The Guardian also endorses the libel about genocide in Israel. It has its agenda.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if it's correct, so what?
China, Russia, Turkey and Iran violate the UN charter on a daily basis. And that's just off the top of my head. Half the countries in south Asia and Africa do too. No UN emergency meetings. No ICC charges.
But when American does it? Oh no! International law has been violated.
Underneath all the drivel, there has always only ever been two international laws: Might makes right and Better to be a live scumbag than a virtuously dead.
