That is has never been resolved.

Largely those that say it is do so on account of the already ongoing genocide that the Japanese were committing on other nations and that the Japanese refused surrender despite warnings and then again after the first bomb dropped.

Those that say it isn't do so on account of the number of civilian deaths, general immorality and that it was excessive in its nature.

Personally, I would consider the first legal as per "jus in bello" and the second a war crime as the impact of the first probably hadn't been fully comprehended at the time the second was dropped.
