You hear on the internet these days people talking of certain wars being illegal. Surely every war is basically illegal? People die for another persons ideology.
Genuine question btw, would be good to see peoples views.

If a UN mandate is given and the declaration/action of war doesn't contravene international law (given treaties and conventions) then I'm sure it 's 'legal'. However, I imagine its something of a murky area for even the most avid reader of international legislation!
