US confiscate property and money of the oligarchs Putin

The United States authorized the expropriation of property of foreign persons and organizations out of court for events in Ukraine

This was announced on March 8 source in the Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on the order of US President Barack Obama's March 6, "About blocking property of certain persons contributing to the situation in Ukraine»,

What are the powers of the administration of US President gets. "Since that date, the President of the United States, acting on the basis of the Law" On Economic Powers in the case of international emergencies ", has given the US administration right to enter the property and visa sanctions against individuals and entities that are" assigned powers in the Crimean region without permission from the Government of Ukraine " - drew attention to the Russian dipvedomstva.





Thus the administration of US President insure themselves against possible lawsuits by declaring in paragraph 10 of the order that the penalties imposed do not provide grounds for legal entities and individuals to challenge them in court or administrative order. "The President of the United States, in fact, authorized expropriation of property of foreign persons and organizations out of court", - said the source.

"Executive Order in Ukraine is largely unprecedented - drew attention to the agency. - Previously, the United States did not impose sanctions against those who peacefully defend the right to self-determination, as enshrined in particular in Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil 1966 and Political Rights, as well as in Article 1 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. By virtue of this right, peoples freely determine political status and to pursue their development & quot ;.

"Again, there is a double standard. Back in July 2009, the United States has provided comments to the International Court in connection with the situation in Kosovo - said a source in dipvedomstva. - Then Washington claimed that "the legal principle of territorial integrity does not prevent non-State entities peacefully declare its independence." Hague court reached a similar conclusion, while recognizing the legitimacy of the unilateral declaration of Kosovo's independence against the will of Belgrade. "This decision, it turns out, clarifies existing norms of modern international law" - is perplexed at the Russian Ministry.

"If good faith interpretation of Obama's orders (which, of course, can not count), formulated in its sanctions should be applied primarily against the activists' euromaidan" and in fact they have appointed illegitimate authorities and their Western patrons & quot ;. "On their conscience - destruction of the constitutional order and a threat to the territorial integrity of Ukraine».
