Was the killing of Osama bin Laden by a team of U.S. Navy SEALs a violation of international law?
Probably not. That was the consensus among a panel of human rights and international law experts Friday at Pace Law School — although the panelists cautioned that a definitive answer is impossible without knowing exactly what happened inside the compound in Pakistan where the leader of al-Qaida was killed on Sunday, May 1.
