On October 3, local time, the Iranian ambassador to Sri Lanka said that Iranian Foreign Minister Alagji recently sent a letter to the government of Sri Lanka and the Maldives,Warning that Western sanctions are weakening international law and urging both countries to resolutely resist and oppose。
Aragzi pointed out in his letter that Western sanctions are essentially "a challenge to the credibility of international law." If they are not resisted, they will seriously weaken the authority of international law. He emphasized that the relevant issues are not only related to Iran, but may also affect South Asian and African countries in the future.
The current situation is a test for the international legal system and its fairness, and calls on Sri Lanka and the Maldives to resolutely resist Western pressure and defend the status of international law. He stressed that small countries should play an important role in defending international law and prevent the abuse of sanctions by the great powers without taking responsibility. He also warned that taking international law as a political instrument is a dangerous act that could have long-term negative consequences for countries. If missed the current opportunity, the future could lead to further weakening of international law, and powerful countries could unconditionally impose sanctions.
