Bo Theutenberg explains: The question of international law has become highly topical in connection with the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran and the rapid escalation that followed. Reactions have been strong internationally, with recurring accusations of violations of international law and demands for condemnation – while others point to self-defense, security and Iran’s role in the region.

– International law is not a new invention. It is not something that was invented with the UN Charter, says Bo Theutenberg.
