Hitherto, one may still question as to what exactly is the casus belli for all these mayhems which had proven a worldly albatross to all.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=legalpedia.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6398996&amp;post=57&amp;subd=legalpedia&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As use of force is now prohibited since World War II under international law with restricted exceptions, the legality of the US attack on Iraq cannot be lawfully substantiated on any exceptional grounds. The United States, as a member state of the United Nations, is bound by this legal regime. In fact, the US was a primary proponent of the U.N. Charter at the end of World War II. In its military action in Iraq, the US purported to act within the constraints imposed by the UN Charter. Discourse from the Bush administration has focused on the legality of pre-emptive action stemming from the imminence of an Iraqi nuclear, biological or chemical attack on the US, with minimal empirical evidence to support that assertion. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=legalpedia.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6398996&amp;post=4&amp;subd=legalpedia&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
