Todays wars are illegal wars

War and terror dominate mainstream headlines for years. But it rarely gets noted that most wars are and have been illegal.
Since the end of WW2 and the founding of the UN, war is forbidden worldwide. There are only two exceptions:

• The right of self-defense, meaning a country is allowed to defend itself from foreign aggressions.
• War against another country is only allowed, if there is a mandate from the United Nations Security Council.
  Other than that, all other wars are and have been illegal for over 70 years.

When someone takes a weapon and kills another person, that person is a criminal, because it is illegal to do so. Everyone knows that. In a functioning, constitutional state, the murderer is being found by the police, receives a fair trial and must go to prison for several years. If a country attacks another country with weapons and armed forces, it is illegal. The leaders of the attacking country should be held accountable for their actions and they should face a trial and must go to prison, just like any other regular person. But exactly this never happens and gets swept under the rug. The first reason this never happens is because politicians have too much power and nobody can arrest them. Secondly, the mainstream media does not dare to criticize the illegal nature of attacking another country. Because it is not in the public eye, there is no discussion about such issues.

Looking at the last 70 years it is clear that the NATO, under the guidance of the USA, is responsible for most illegal wars. Therefore the NATO is partly responsible for the refugee crisis hitting Europe and also for the rise of ISIS. The USA and NATO are the biggest threat to world peace by constantly breaking international law.
