The UNSC wrote up several resolutions after 9/11 condemning the acts of the Taliban and it's Al-Qaeda friends. However, all of them require actions taken under the resolution to cooperate with international law, which American forces violate on a regular basis. Two of America's favorite violations coming in under articles 48 and 51 of the Geneva convention, which are in place to protect the civilian population and prevent indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations and infrastructure.

America requested a resolution allowing them to take take a military offensive in Afghanistan, they were denied. The UNSC assembled and put in place at least 3 resolutions in 2001 alone regarding the actions to be taken with Afghanistan, all to be followed under their direction and in compliance with international law. American forces paid little attention to any of these laws, carrying on with their war under their own direction, often in violation of these laws.

Two points taken out of the context of the entire resolution hardly stand as evidence to me. The resolutions allow the ISAF to take neccesary actions AS ALLOWED BY INTERNATIONAL LAWS outlined in the many conventions regarding the issue of war...
