The United States and the West have no qualms about violating international law, Spokesman of Iran's Government Ali Bahadori Jahromi said.
MEHR: The United States and the West have no qualms about violating international law, Spokesman of Iran's Government Ali Bahadori Jahromi said.
"International law suffers from the weakness of enforcement guarantee; Some political comments double this suffering," he wrote in a post on social media, referring to the letter of 12 US totalitarian senators who have threatened the International Criminal Court and its judges for fulfilling their legal duties.
The United States and the West have accepted international law in a graded manner and do not shy away from violating it for purely political reasons, Bahadori Jahromi stressed.
He further emphasized that the success and effectiveness of the international law system require a serious revision both in terms of structure and content.
Referring to the ongoing US-backed Israeli regime's genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, the Iranian official said that the arbitrary behavior of Western countries has slowed down the process of maturation of international law and its enforcement.
The events in Gaza have exposed the practical inefficiency of the international law system in preventing such tragedies in the world, and it is another clear historical document on the reality of the approach of some Western countries toward the issue of human rights.
