| Summary / Abstract (Note) | IN ACCORDANCE WITH the UN Charter, a Bible of contemporary international law, all UN members "shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means" and "shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force" (Article 2, Paragraphs 3-4). The Charter allows, in the form of an exception to this general rule, states to use force in only two cases - as self-defense against an armed attack from the outside (Article 51) and, following a UN Security Council (UNSC) decision, to remove a threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression (Articles 39-42). |
