Moreover, the interference of Iraq's sovereignty by the Kurdistan and the Turkish attacks against Kurdistan militias in Iraq without Iraq's authorization are also considered as they all happened as a consequence of the United States invasion on Iraq. In particular, the illegitimate United States invasion on Iraq will be reviewed first while the declaration of the independence of Kurdistan as an independent state within Iraq and its effects on the sovereignty of the country are discussed second.
Following the attacks on Iraq, millions of civilians and civil rights lobbyists all around the world held demonstrations against the move. In spite of the legal fact that a country invading another implicates the most fundamental element of the United Nations Charter and International Law, the US went ahead and invaded Iraq without the required approval of the United Nations Security Council; hence, the UN Charter, which is, according to (Segell 229) the foundation of modern International Law, was violated.
Another important fact of consideration in this development is the phenomenon that the president himself and his senior cabinet members said on more than one occasion that the United States government was ready to invades Iraq regardless of whether or not the United Nations Security Council approved the attack. This happened amid the well-known UN Charter prohibitions against attack threats, cold war and the use of force by a country against another.
Despite the strict convergence of international legal provisions opposing the attack of Iraq on the valid grounds of International Law, or at least to invoke the global law as a standard of analysis to determine whether the invasion was justified or not, President Bush was not held accountable to the provisions of the rule of law in this illegitimate conduct of foreign policy.
