Military action against a sovereign state is illegal under the UN charter.

Military action against a sovereign state is illegal under the UN charter. There are two exceptions: self-defense, and UN Security Council approval.

Heads of state have personal immunity while in office from prosecution in foreign courts.

This attack is a serious breakdown of international norms.

@evan this tracks with how the US has done things for a very long time, especially in the western hemisphere. Things like international law are cosplay. This is just regime change for oil, colonialism and plunder

@evan americans are way too lazy and comfortable to do anything but netflix and chill as democracy is so gratuitously removed from them

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@kworker No, it doesn't. The US used invaded and occupied Latin American countries in the first half of the 1900s, but after the formation of the United Nations it was more involved in funding and supporting civil wars. Exceptions like the invasion of Panama have been criticized in the world community, and the mining of Nicaragua's harbours was a crime per the International Court of Justice. That kind of normalization is extremely dangerous.

@brotherpsyche international law doesn't require anything from Americans.
