Lord Goldsmith

Lord Goldsmith, a prominent British lawyer and politician, served as Attorney General from 2001 to 2007. He is well-known for his legal opinions on the use of military force, particularly regarding the Iraq War, where he argued that international law permitted force only in self-defense against actual or imminent threats. His views on the legality of military action have made him a significant figure in discussions about the UK's legal responsibilities in international conflicts.
