Violation of International Law:
The US attack on Iraqi territory on January 3, 2020, targeting General Soleimani and his entourage, directly violates paragraph 2 of Article IV, which explicitly prohibits the use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of nations.
The shameful US strike was illegal since it lacked legal justification, violating a plethora of principles and rules within the existing international legal system, most notably the rule against the use of unlawful force.
