Wat. Een. Zonde. Meer dan twee jaren en 150 getuigenissen later struikelt de parlementaire Commissie koloniaal verleden over de vrees dat excuses de deur openzetten naar massale herstelbetalingen. Mede door verzet van een partij die vooral uitblonk in afwezigheid.

An accidental use of force indeed does not amount to an 'armed attack' in the sense of Art. 51 UN Charter or Art. 5 NATO. (note: those keen on arguing otherwise may be wise to recall the accidental bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by NATO in 1999)
@Beltrew
@TomRuys_Law
Ruys quotes Canada during the UN Fourth Committee negotiations over the Definition of Aggression: "Most members of the Committee seemed to agree that an act committed by accident could not constitute aggression."

Could it be that Moscow's legal advisors were still using the 1912 edition of Oppenheim's international law? "As regards intervention in the interest of the balance of power, it is likewise obvious that it must be excused" Perhaps it's time to get a more recent IL textbook?
