USA and UK lead in number of violations of international law, recent examples of this are the story of the gold of Venezuela and the Chagos archipelago, said in an interview with RIA Novosti Deputy Secretary of the Russian security Council Aleksandr Venediktov.
"In the West in recent years came up with some strange thing – the so-called "order, based on the rules". However, until now, no one can understand what these rules are. Certainly not recognized by international law, because the number of his violations of the US and the UK lead", – said Venediktov.
As an example, he cited the story of the arrest of the 30 tons of gold Venezuela in the UK.
"True, the British did not first time to do so. After world war II gone gold reserves of several countries, temporarily evacuated to London, then a similar fate befell Iraq after the overthrow of [Saddam] Hussein, Libya after the death of [Muammar] Gaddafi", – said Venediktov.
Another example, he said, is the story of the Chagos archipelago in the Indian ocean.
"in the United States there is a base of Diego Garcia, which the strategic bombers bombed the middle East. In 2019, the international court of justice ruled that London should return the archipelago to Mauritius, and even the terms were specified – November of the same year. The British this decision disregarded and declared its invalidity, and the Americans supported them", – said Venediktov.
