Israel-Gaza: What the law says about the fighting By Guglielmo Verdirame Published International law regulates the use of military force by states and the conduct of hostilities. As in virtually every modern conflict, there is intense debate on the legality of the actions of the two main sides involved here - Israel and Hamas. Self-defence As in previous operations in Gaza, Israel is likely to argue that its actions are justified under the right of self-defence. Enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter, the right of self-defence is a fundamental principle of international law. While aspects of this principle are disputed, it is universally agreed that a state can defend itself against an armed attack.
