UN says Trump broke international law with Soleimani killing

https://www.foxnews.com/world/un-trump-breaking-international-law-soleimani
It is the US as a whole- but this has Trump's hands all over it...

Lots of "ifs" and "buts" in there...sounds like politicized jargon.

Of course it violated international law. Who needs to be told that assassinating another country's Minister of Defence is a violation of international law?

Poor innocent peace loving Soleimani. He has not even ever ordered any harm to anybody, least of all any Americans. 

Obviously the thread is now going to be flooded with buckets full of senseless memes. 

"that assassinating another country's Minister of Defence is a violation of international law?"

Munister if defence for Iran is interchangeable with Minister of Terrorism...Soleimani probably had more blood on his hands than Osama Bin Laden.

OK...do enlighten us about the virtues of the man and the good work he was doing in Iraq and other countries while defending Iran.

"UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, however, backed the strike, describing the American action as self-defense."

This is weird - not worth any discussion.  The fact is that the UNI and its structures like the WHO is largely funded by the  USA - yet they are mouthpieces of the Chinese and some other reactionary States - always take a stance opposing the USA,   Not worth discussing,

The UN Human Rights Council has been a monumental disaster. Thankfully

@NikkiHaley

led the United States out of the Council back in 2018 as US Ambassador to the United Nations. An excellent move.

The UN Human Rights Council is an embarrassment:

53 countries at the UN HRC, led by Cuba, came out in support of China’s natl security law this week -- a law that has formed the basis of the communist regime’s latest crackdown on the people of Hong Kong.

This is reason enough for the USA to leave the UN and boot it out of NY"

America is simply too powerful at the moment for there to be any consequences for them flouting international law.

The UN is far from perfect though and needs to be reformed. I'd start by getting rid of veto's that the 5 permanent security council members have.

On the 53 member states that came out in support of China's new security law for Hong Kong, you can a break down of who was in support of them and who was against them.

A UN reform should entail that no country not holding DEMOCRATIC elections verified by a independent observer agency should be allowed membership of the UN.  That would disqualify about 70% of the UN members,   At this stage the UN is a nice organization doing the dirty work for Dictators who  undermine Democracy through bribery and corruption - eg the leadership of the Democrats in the USA,  

Of the 53 members who voted for the China resolution 48 members are enemies of democracy.  

If you remove the veto-power the UN with their majority dictatorship cadres it will be another arm to undermine democracy in countries, who are still Democratic.

Exactly Mike. Mob rule and the end of Western Civilization...and the culmination of the NWO.

I wouldn't be against that. But after that veto's need to go. Otherwise nations with it will just use it when it suits their own interests and not the interests of the greater good.

What utter BS....pathway to enslavement. 

There are too many dictators in the world and they always support each other,   Anyway - the USA is unlikely to leave the UN and to quote Biden is silly - he has been bribed by China and will do their bidding all the time.
