Uses of force that are illegal but justifiable. 330 $aThe nations that drafted the UN Charter in 1945 clearly were more concerned about peace than about justice. As a result, the Charter prohibits all use of force by states except in the event of an armed attack or when authorised by the Security Council. This arrangement has only very imperfectly withstood the test of time and changing world conditions. In requiring states not to use force in self-defence until after they had become the object of an actual armed attack, the Charter failed to address a growing phenomenon of clandestine subversion and of instantaneous nuclear threats. Fortunately although the Charter is very hard to amend, the drafters did agree that it should be interpreted flexibly by the United Nations' principal political institutions. In this way the norms governing use of force in international affairs have been adapted to meet changing circumstances and new challenges. The book also relates these changes in law and practice to changing public values pertaining to the balance between maintaining peace and promoting justice. 410 0$aHersch Lauterpacht memorial lectures ;$v15. 606 $aSelf-defense (International law) 606 $aIntervention (International law) 615 0$aSelf-defense (International law) 615 0$aIntervention (International law) 676 $a341.5/8 700 $aFranck$b Thomas M.$0148302 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780290003321 996 $aRecourse to force$9673626 997 $aUNINA
