Under UK law the government (the Crown) is entitled to make war on whoever it
chooses, whether with the consent of Parliament or without. No court in the
land could declare a war to be illegal under Uk law because the concept of
an 'illegal' war does not exist.
International law is another matter, but who has the power to enforce
international law against two of the most powerful countries in the world?
Certainly not the UN.
