Abstract
Although states are restricted from intervening in the affairs of other states without the approval and authorization of the Security Council, they use international rights and laws in various ways to justify their unilateral interventions in each other's internal affairs. Meanwhile, customary international law and the United Nations Charter generally prohibit the use of force in international relations. Thus, the main question of this research is: what international norms and laws do foreign actors use to intervene in the Syrian crisis? The hypothesis of this research is that opponents of the Syrian political regime, including the United States and its regional and international allies, have intervened in the Syrian crisis with the aim of equipping the opposition to the Syrian regime, weakening this regime, and containing and dismantling the resistance front centered around Iran in the region, often claiming to establish international peace and security and sometimes using humanitarian reasons. In contrast, Iran and Russia entered the Syrian conflict based on the principle of invitation and at the request of the legitimate government of Syria, and they have never intended territorial expansion or dominance over the region. Qualitative analysis methods have been used to analyze the research data.
