The January U.S. drone strike in Iraq that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and nine other people represented a violation of international law, a U.N. human rights investigator said on Monday.
The United States has failed to provide sufficient evidence of an ongoing or imminent attack against its interests to justify the strike on Soleimani's convoy as it left Baghdad airport, said Agnes Callamard, U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
The attack violated the U.N. Charter, Callamard wrote in a report calling for accountability for targeted killings by armed drones and for greater regulation of the weapons.

The USA doesn’t ask permission to protect ourselves.
The general wasn’t supposed to be out of his country, also.

That just means that President Trump is doing it right, not that we needed them to tell us that.

Qassem Soleimani was not riding in an Uber or Lyft rig. His transportation was a coordinated operation. Those nine individuals got what they bargained for-— a taste of war.

When bin Laden met his fate, he was watching his stash of porno. He wasn’t planning a darned thing. Did the UN condemn Obola? I think not.
