In fact, but not officially. As a matter of law, the UN Charter is part of US law, and
prohibits military action except in self-defense and emergencies. Chomsky
intermittently makes a lot of hay with this.

As to the facts and the particular law you mention, yes, in the attack on Yugoslavia,
the U.S. and NATO nations violated the highest international law, that against crimes
against peace ( "higher" than crimes against humanity even by the Nuremburg standard)
, but who has the force or might to punish them ?
