But Agnes Callamard , UN special Rapporteur on extra-judicial killings. has tweeted about The Strike say "this test is not likely to be achieved".

One said, there is a large body of scholarship, that of the self-defense argument than The Right to use force "against a real and Imminent Threat when the necessity of self-defence is instant, overwhelming and leaving no choice of means and no moment of deliberation. be "

The omitted the word "immediate" and said The Strike was to deter future Iranian attacks, and Iran is the top military leader Soleimani was "active in the development of plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and in the region as a whole tire".

There are other reasons, it has in The Past , Dr. Ralph Wilde , an expert in public International Law at University College London.

"Since 9/11, the US has taken a view that self-defense can be justified to prevent more attacks. If The Attack is planned, but not immediately before. To justify the Obama administration with this argument for drone attacks. "

And what about the issue of consent?

The Other question is whether the U.S. had the consent of Iraq, from The Strike .

the Iraqi deputies responded got angry and went to a non-binding resolution, the troops of the U.S. leave the country. The Iraqi government called it a "

the US armed forces invited to Iraq to combat the Islamic state group and the training of the Iraqi armed forces.

could have a claim on The United States, this invitation was a form of consent, giving them The Right to protect its interests and personnel in Iraq.

But Mr Akande argued that, in practice, the terms of the agreement to host the US would stretch troops to an attack such as this.
