[Mass Effect]How could the Turians justify firing on the Human ships at Relay 314?

Citadel law states that opening a Mass Relay is forbidden due to the fear of making contact with a Rachni level threat.  However, how can a race that has had no prior contact with the Citadel be expected to know about said law?

Also, why did the Turians not face harsher punishments due to their not only firing on a race that was unaware of the law but trying to conquer them without even telling the rest of the Council about it?

Humans were one of the first species since the Asari to master the tech needed to use the relays on their own. No one had any idea who they were. And since the last species to achieve this were the Rachni they weren't taking any risks. Especially when the first thing to come out of that rely unannounced were warships

As for punishment who is going to try? The Council's Army? It's all made of Turians.
