But they have a point, how can people legally kill other people, will every case be checked?

not literally every case, but yes there are international laws (e.g Geneva Conventions, Hague Conventions, Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons) in place detailing who is allowed to kill who and in what way.

By disabling the rule of law in an area. The legal government and law enforcement is overpowered and you get a zone of martial law by the strongest force present, which may or may not be bound by a mandate of their origin country, and hence could be held responsible and controlled for acts outside of their mandate.

Isn't the point of official "declaration of war" thing is to kill people legally?

what if it's not really a war, not that formal just a casual occasion like it's just a holiday that somehow became a special military operation
