So is the russia attacking peaceful countries, abducting children, committing war crimes and countless other atrocities committed by the russian regime. Isn’t it fair enough that they’ll pay for the crimes they committed and the rebuilding of what they destroyed?

You mean the international law that russia broke when they started invading Ukraine?

It’s beyond me why they haven’t assessed the damage Russia’s caused Ukraine so far and taken that to court, and seized Russian assets accordingly. That’s fully in line with international law.

People don’t understand how damaging it would be for Europes economics.

All well and good, but got to admit Russia is exploiting the shit out of it’s opponents actually respecting laws xD

It’s also against the law to kill someone except there’s a law for capital punishment.

There is no law if it can’t be enforced and only one side respects it. European leaders want to stay in their comfortable post cold war bubble so they don’t have to face the reality we live in.

And how many fucks did ruzzia give about international law when they invaded Ukraine?

From the comments I see that the ones that want Euro the world’s reserve currency are also in favor of seizing the assets of another country. Imagine the high trust investors will have in Europe 😂

Things like International payment system must be free from any intervention and interference. It must be a global good and not a tool wielded by a single country to be used for leverage or coercion or blackmail.
Today Russia’s assets are seized, Tommorow US can do this to any country they desire to put pressure in order achieve their desired outcomes .This is the exact trigger that made Central banks buy maximum gold to derisk themselves from any uncertainties.
Even Afghanistan’s assets are seized by US and most definitely will be used to negotiate to re enter in Bagram airbase.

Yeah, I’m sure „respect for international law“ is the real reason.
I’m sure it’s that and not because the result would be every other billionaire would immediately take their money out of French banks and dump every French investment fund and go to safer pastures.

It might be different if Russia, in ANY way was showing HE respects international law. Somewhere we need to cut the garbage loose and let it get shredded!

Man, the *collective West* really seems to be shitting their pants on the thought of *de-dollarization* (and, consequently, *de-euroization*).
Just deal with it. The credibility of the western financial systems is gone; has been gone ever since 2008 with a final nail-to-the-coffin with the covid-inspired quantitative easing and government handouts and expecting the rest of the world to cover the bill.
It’s over whether France seizes those funds or not; so might as well.

Russia seized
>McDonald

>Couple nuclear power plants
>Lots of European small/mid companies
And now they are stealing from their own.
At this point we should use those assets to buy arms and give them to Ukraine.

Well then propose a law that allows seizure of assets of an aggressor of war.

Is Macron trying to appease the far-right in France by opposing the moral thing to do? I don’t understand his logic.
snowsuit101 on
A law that makes crimes go unpunished or even helps a criminal should not exist at least without serious changes.
On the same note an entity as hostile as Russia with the intentions Russia has should not have any protections on their assets, they gave up on it when they decided they want what others have and they’ll take it by force.

What exactly are the consequences for disrespecting international law? I am aware of the implied consequence of nobody adhering to them, but what are the concrete consequences a state or it’s leadership can face when breaching international law?
Law is great, and I sincerely believe the world is better when humans agree upon and follow laws that outline how our society works. But it’s undeniable that without enforcement or consequences laws are completely toothless, no more than a suggestion that can be disavowed whenever it’s convenient. While I appreciate the concept of international law the way it supposedly ‚works‘ seems incredibly naive or deceptive, depending on your views.
On a legal level I’m not saying it would be OK to breach international law and seize frozen Russian assets, but I am saying that doing something like this should be a possible consequence outlined in international law for those states that are found in violation.
On a moral level I still think it’s the right thing to do. In the absence of defined punishment for Russias transgressions we should improvise in the punishment, and seizing assets hits them where it hurts, making it an effective consequence that will hopefully provide deterrence for the future.

As always, Europe should be a good boy and respect international laws while Russia and many other countries break it frequently and get away with it because no one cares.
What is the point to obey the international laws if no one does it? no one is imposing it so no one is respecting it.
