Latvia warns of russia’s ‘lawfare’ against West
According to the Latvian Constitution Protection Bureau, the kremlin is preparing a new stage of hybrid aggression involving a large-scale “legal war” against Western countries.
Moscow plans to use the tools of international and national law of European states not to seek justice, but as a weapon to weaken democratic countries.
The main directions will be challenging sanctions, declaring Western officials and public figures internationally wanted, accusing persecution of russian speakers, as well as fabricating fakes about mass human rights violations.
russia aims to turn international law into a tool of hybrid warfare. The legal system of the democratic world is a target of the kremlin. The goal of the russian federation is to paralyze decision-making by Western governments, forcing them to spend resources on legal proceedings, and to undermine trust in international institutions.
