Noam Chomsky Zitate

The U.S. - the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that's hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.

Die USA - die Idee, die die USA Prinzipien des Völkerrechts eingeführt und auferlegt haben, ist kaum ein Witz. Die Vereinigten Staaten haben sogar ein Veto gegen die Resolutionen des Sicherheitsrates eingelegt, in denen alle Staaten aufgefordert werden, das Völkerrecht zu beachten. Das war in den achtziger Jahren unter Reagan.
