Norway: International law is worth defending, even when allies break it
Norway's deputy foreign minister Andreas Kravik condemns the US-Israeli war on Iran as illegal under international law, emphasizing that states must uphold legal principles even when allies violate them. He argues the conflict lacks UN Security Council authorization, self-defense justification, or Iranian consent, and criticizes Iran's disproportionate response and domestic actions as breaches of international law.
