Sofaer, offers a practical guide to identifying and considering the issues relevant to preventive uses of force. The report seeks to ensure that such uses of force, if undertaken, will advance national and international security and the purposes of the United Nations Charter. The report examines the legitimacy, dangers, and limitations of preventive force and concludes by encouraging states and decision makers to undertake a systematic appraisal of the merits of any threat or use of preventive force based, not only on legal standards, which have proved an ineffective guide, but also on standards related to legitimacy, such as the consistency of proposed actions with the U.N. Charter and established norms of conduct. 410 0$aHoover Institution Press publication ;$v576. 517 1 $aLegitimacy & preventive force 517 3 $aLegitimacy and preventive force 606 $aPreemptive attack (Military science) 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention 606 $aIntervention (International law) 615 0$aPreemptive attack (Military science) 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 615 0$aIntervention (International law) 676 $a327 700 $aSofaer$b Abraham D$0571523 712 02$aStanford University.$bTask Force on Preventive Force. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957546803321 996 $aThe best defense$94325008 997 $aUNINA
