We proposed a draft for a statement, but America, England and France refused to accept the principles of international law and did not accept it.

But when it comes to the right of other countries, including the right to defend themselves against their nationals, the matter is different. If the consulate or embassy of a western country was targeted, these countries would immediately condemn it and demand the punishment of the aggressor, but when other countries intervene and they want to exercise their right to defend themselves, the westerners show their double standards.
