There is very little international law that governs interactions between nations. Those governments trusted their host. They were betrayed.

It's embarrassing that it's public, but I highly doubt the countries involved trusted their hosts. Do you really think Russia trusts the UK and the US?

Russia clearly didn't, given the encrypted satellite phone link for Medvedev, but it appears some others did. And now they know better.

If they did't trust their hosts they wouldn't have used internet cafes. Though they may just be technically inept.
