Of course, you may simply claim that the nationalist areas were occupied territory and the IRA legitimate defence forces fighting to evict an invading force. However, international law does not agree with you.

I wonder what 'international law' said about Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968?

The 'international law' you refer to was created by states and naturally has a bias in favor of states.

To paraphrase the American Declaration of Independence, the right of self defense is an inalienable right endowed to us by our Creator and which cannot be taken away from us by any human 'law'

Oh look...Russ is running off at a tangent and not answering the issue again. How is Hungary/Czechoslovakia pertinent directly to the what happens in NI. Additionally a/This alleged right doesn't really apply to internal issues does it though? What do you think happens when anyone tries to defend themselves from the US government, internal or external. b/ America is a different country..does quoting a law from Uzbekhistan hold any weight you think?
