A U.S. Senator advocating or carrying out the army of civilians, rebels, opposition groups.

Hello, Iran-Contra. Hello, Senate hello senate hearings hello people went to

fucking jail against another sovereign state to overthrow its government is

prohibited u.n. charter article twosection 4, states must refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

Indirect force, such as arming internal opposition, counts as this.

Per the International Court of Justice,

Nicaragua versus United States, 1986.

Oh, that sounds like Iran Contra.

What a precedent.

International Court of Justice ruled that supplying arms, training, or support to rebels

constitutes a prohibited use of force and intervention.

Jalable crime.

Non-intervention principle.

Customary international law reinforced by the UNGA.

That's a UN General Assembly.

Resolutions like 26, 25 in 1970, an international court of justice rulings.

States cannot coercively interfere in another state's internal affairs,

including by supporting civil strife or regime change efforts.

This includes arming groups seeking to topple the government.

Consent from the target states government would be needed,

which Iran is not going to give in the UN Security Council authorization under Chapter

8 would likely and likewise prohibit it.
