According to a report commissioned by members of the Left Party, the attacks contravene the prohibition of force outlined in the United Nations Charter, lacking both self-defense justification and UN Security Council authorization. The analysis also examines whether the use of German military bases, such as Ramstein, for these operations could implicate Germany in legal responsibility, concluding that such involvement cannot be ruled out depending on specific circumstances. The German government has refrained from restricting the use of its bases for these purposes, citing existing legal agreements.
