Excerpt: This summer, the German Federal Administrative Court threw
out the charge of insubordination against a major in the German army.
He had refused to obey an order which, he believed, would implicate
him in the invasion of Iraq. The judges determined that the UN Charter
permits a state to go to war in only two circumstances: in
self-defence and when it has been authorised to do by the UN Security
Council. The states attacking Iraq, they ruled, had no such licence.
Resolution 1441, which was used by the British and US governments to
justify the invasion, contained no authorisation. The war could be
considered an act of aggression(6).
