International law has been replaced by might makes right, which is not the way it should be, CSTO Secretary General Taalatbek Masadykov told the First News TV Channel, sb.by reports
“The year 2026 showed that, much to our regret (not only for our countries, the CSTO member states, but for the whole world as well), international law no longer has ceased to function, and now it is might makes right. I believe these days must end. Common sense will prevail among state leaders not only on our vast Eurasian continent, but in Africa and America as well, and people will realise that there is no other solution, but to sit down and talk,” Taalatbek Masadykov noted.
According to the CSTO Secretary General, more often than not, it’s those making money off of it who are waging military conflicts, “Kidnapping a president, attacking one country or another under various pretexts — this is certainly a violation of international law. We need to make it absolutely clear. Every country has its own truth, its own reasons,but for this to happen, we must probably sit down and talk as often as possible. In any case, I believe that violating international law is unacceptable. Eventually, we have to come to a point where the world starts to move away from double standards and begins to abide by these rules collectively.”
