Göran Sluiter en Marten Zwanenberg duiden in de @volkskrant.nl de aanval van #Israël op de nucleaire complexen van #Iran. Valt het te rijmen met het internationaal (oorlogs)recht? bit.ly/3G4OyS1 #OorlogsRecht

Ruim een week geleden werd Iran opgeschrikt door grootschalige Israëlische aanvallen. Sindsdien bestookten de landen elkaar, al leek dinsdag plotseling een staakt-het-vuren in zicht. Valt dit te rijmen met het internationaal (oorlogs)recht? Nee, menen hoogleraren Marten Zwanenburg en Göran Sluiter.
