Lavrov Accuses West Of Substitution Of International Legal Concepts

Sergey Lavrov, speaking on Friday at an online meeting of the UN Security Council, spoke about the substitution of the West for the concepts of international law.

He noted that Russia upholds the order of affairs in the world, in which disagreements become the subject of negotiations, and not a reason for arbitrary pressure from some countries on others. Also, it is unacceptable, practiced by (in particular) the US and Great Britain, the substitution of the norms of international law for some unilaterally declared rules for their own benefit.
