I see people making comments about America’s involvement in Iraq being ‘against international law’…
I’m curious, what legislative body creates international law, and how is it granted it’s jurisdiction?
I’ve heard of a World Court sitting in The Hague, Netherlands, but I’m not sure how the concept of ‘international law’ is created.
There are treaties, trade agreements, non-aggression pacts, etc. but I’ve never heard of a treaty or agreement of any kind limiting the US’s involvement in Iraq.
People also like to bring up the UN charter. Again, what legal strength does this document hold? Is the US bound by this charter simply by being a member of the UN?
