20 years ago, the West took a course on the destruction of international law when NATO decided to bomb Yugoslavia in 1999. About this in an interview for the documentary film «U-turn over the Atlantic» on the NTV channel of substitution of concepts began, and the Americans took the course of destroying international law and replacing it with certain rules on which order shoud be based.

 

 

Nowadays, Western countries are increasingly using the term «order based on rules» instead of calls to observe international law.

 

 

And the difference is clear. International law is the result of consensus negotiations, and the Westerners themselves invent the rules and demand that everyone else follow them. It began just then - 20 years ago», the minister noted, in particular.

 

 

Recall, NATO air strikes in Yugoslavia, bypassing the position of the UN Security Council, continued from March 24th to June 10th, 1999. The exact number of their victims is unknown. The authorities of Serbia claim that 2.5 thousand people died, including 89 children.
