Russia Calls International Law 'Effectively Dead' and Proposes UNSC P-5 Summit

Russia has declared that international law is effectively dead amid escalating tensions in West Asia following a US-Israeli strike on Iran. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that while international law exists legally, it no longer functions in practice. Russia called for reviving President Putin's proposal to hold a summit of the five permanent UN Security Council members to address global security and stability. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged the US to clarify its broader plans and their alignment with international norms amid regional destabilization.
