<<<… I have not dealt with Israel's own purported legal justification for its aerial strike: anticipatory self-defense. [FN17] How can this be reconciled with Article 51 of the Charter, which only allows self-defense "if an armed attack occurs"?>>

Actually, this is a fairly interesting article by Mr. D’Amato, even if only for its historical value, trying to deal with all these issues prior to the Gulf war and 9/11. He also writes:

<<.. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is so enormous as to call into question any and all received rules of international law regarding the trans-boundary use of force. Many of the old rationales for these rules no longer apply.>>

Not a bad article. Thanks. Have you read it?
