International law provides a complex framework for situations involving occupation and resistance, balancing the recognized right of colonized people to self-determination and to struggle against alien domination with the rules of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) that govern all armed conflicts. The method of attack (e.g., using a knife) is not the primary factor in determining legality, but rather who is targeted and their status, and whether the perpetrator adheres to the laws of war.

However, international law also recognizes the right of peoples under colonial domination to resist through armed struggle for self-determination, viewing such resistance as legitimate, not terrorism, especially when facing oppression. The UN supports this right to resist occupation and colonialism by any means, including armed struggle, when responding to colonial terror or oppression, though the colonizer's claim to "self-defense" against indigenous resistance is legally challenged in such a context.
