Until the 1870s British officials in China often acted without the Foreign Office's official consent because they could only communicate with London via mail. In the 1870s telegraph lines connected China to Europe. The Chinese government initially opposed foreign telegraph lines arguing that they undermined Chinese authority.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the United Nations Charter the notion of the "threat to international peace and security" is designed to play a key enabling role in framing its collective security functions. Taking a 60-year period from the UN's founding, this article examines how the UN Security Council has developed the notion of the "threat to international peace and security" through its resolutions, and what this evolution might mean for the notion of collective security and the Council's role in it.
