Absolutely the UN made such authorization. Here...You do not answer my question at all. The United Nation DID NOT authorized US and British onslaught over Afghanistan on October 7th 2001. No body authorized Al-Qaeda to attack US soil and other US interest overseas as well. So the US and British acted just like the Al-Qaeda.
NATO Basict Text: UN Charter Art. 51
The US was free to act based upon the UN Charter itself. No need for formal 'authorization'.Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations
Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain inter- national peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.
Osama bin Laden is the moral leadership of al-Qaeda. He set policies, locally and globally, for any al-Qaeda affiliates. He does not need to be actively involved in the planning of the 9/11 attack.Yeah.. you may call it a right to reject an offer. I know the answer would be like this. Because, it is the US who still don't have the hard evidence about the perpetrators...
It's been 9 years, so where is the hard evidence that linking Osama to the 9/11?
The definition of war did not get 'broadened' by anyone. War is a state of mind. Technically speaking, the two Koreas are still at war. Their states of minds are hostility to each other. But for now they are not in a state of 'armed conflict'. We use the term 'war' loosely.Hmm... Thanks for the correction.
Anyway, when did the definition got broadened?
