Dr. Zeinab Mehanna: The Rules-Based Order Is a New Form of Western Colonialism

Speaking at the international conference “On the Unpunished Crimes of the West (in Military and Civilian Activities),” held on October 19 in Belgrade, Dr. Zeinab Mehanna from Lebanon criticized the Western-led international order as a continuation of colonial practices.

She emphasized the distinction between international law and the so-called rules-based order, highlighting selective justice and the ongoing consequences of Western intervention, particularly in Lebanon.

Mehanna stressed that the emerging multipolar world should be founded on respect for human dignity, justice, and restraint in the exercise of power.
