MOSCOW, June 24. /TASS/. Since the beginning of 2026, the world has encountered challenges in international law that test the resilience of the law and all lawyers devoted to their duty, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev told the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.
