Sovereign law overrides international law.

Anyways though, this topic really can't be discussed without going deeply into politics.

Actually, international law overrides national laws (well, it's a bit more complicated, you have monist and dualist conceptions of the IL). BTW, the UN Charter prohibits aggression wars (Chapter VII if I recall correctly). Only attacks in self-defense or attacks that have been approved beforehand by the Security Council can be considered legal.
