Extract

Thank you, Monica. While the cases you mentioned or previous examples have involved uses of force where maybe not all observers felt that the black letter law on when use of force was permissible was satisfied, I do think that the current case is extremely distinguishable. When it came to both Kosovo and Iraq, there was agreement in international institutions that, for Kosovo, there was a grave humanitarian situation. For Iraq, that there was a certain threat emanating from Iraq. I think those international institutions supported addressing those situations one way or another, as evidenced by relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
