The UN Charter prohibits any form of aggressive war, Professor of International Criminal Law Milan Skulic said on the occasion of the 9th anniversary of Yugoslavia bombardment. He reminded that former Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) were bombed in contravention of the ultimate legal act of the world organization and without the approval of the UN Security Council.
According to the Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, the use of force is permitted only with the UN Security Council approval, if seen as the last recourse to preserve the peace and security in the world. When it comes to Yugoslavia, none of the conditions were fulfilled, since FR Yugoslavia did not attack or threatened to attack another country. Instead, the Yugoslav leadership was trying to counter an armed insurgency within Serbia's own borders, conducted by the KLA/UCK, led by Albanian separatists who were funded, armed, trained and supported by Western powers.
Apart from that, Professor Skulic pointed out that Nato has also violated a score of other international agreements, resolutions and declarations with this aggression, including the preamble of its own charter from April 4, 1949, which defined Nato as a defensive alliance, obligating its members to refrain from "the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations."
