UN Security Council New York Conference RoomMOSCOW, May 17The policy of double standards in the West has become a habit that has become entrenched in international relations with both allies and adversaries. This was stated by the Italian diplomat Torquato Cardilli. His article was posted on his blog by the founder of the Five Star Party, Beppe Grillo. According to Cardilli, who has represented Italy in Albania, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia and Angola over the years, the United Nations has become a center of political manipulation. He noted that the UN charter has been violated throughout its existence for the sake of maintaining or gaining influence, and recalled how the policy of double standards was used against Serbia and Iraq. >Punished with a ruble: Europe is embarrassed by Russian gas «It is enough to recall the attitude of the United States and NATO towards the secession of Kosovo to the detriment of Serbia, whose capital Belgrade was subjected to intensive bombing by the Western alliance until its surrender. At that time, no one in the West, nor in government, nor in the media objected to the severity of the destruction and did not criticize for the lack of any pity for the victims and destruction,» Cardilli recalled. The author of the article believes that the exclusion of Russia from the Human Rights Council following the vote of the UN General Assembly » and 92 votes against with a quorum of 78 votes; 50 abstentions) is at odds with ignoring real US crimes.» Nothing has been done internationally to condemn the cold-blooded executions of entire families, including children, during the US invasion of Iraq, torture, documented on social media by the same soldiers who behaved like real executioners in the Iraqi prisons of Abu Ghraib or in the Guantanamo prison camp,» he protested. Even 77 years after the end of World War II, many states that call themselves independent democracies, in fact, remain at the mercy of the US vassalage, summed up Cardilli.The guests of the Italian TV show got into a fight over the cancellation of Russian culture
