“From the point of view of international law and the domestic legislation of all civilized states, such a seizure of private property is unacceptable.
Now in no country there is legislation that would allow property to be seized in this way - simply because a person has Russian citizenship, ”explained Yarmush.
In her opinion, the actions of the American authorities are a declaration that any property that belongs to the citizens of the Russian Federation can be seized.
The seizure of property is followed by expropriation - the appropriation of private property.
“The Americans, of course, will be followed by European countries, which are now at the level of the European Parliament, as if on a tracing paper, writing the same law,” said the interlocutor of RT.
She stressed that the adopted law also contradicts the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
“Property rights have been protected for centuries, but now everything is breaking down, and the property of Russians can simply be taken away.
Unfortunately, this is reality, ”said the lawyer.
Earlier, the United States passed a law that provides for the possibility of confiscation of assets of foreigners if the funds were received through the support of the Russian leadership or illegal actions.
