Item Description:The widespread and massive human rights violations conducted by ISIS draw the international community's attention to the Middle East. Especially after the humanitarian crisis in the Sinjar Mountains, the international community took action in order to prevent a possible further crisis in the region. However, since the current structure of international law prohibits the use of force at the international level with the exception of uses of force with UN Security Council authorization or for the purpose of self-defense, the legality of the military intervention in Syria remains contentious.
