The United Nations Charter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United Nations Charter includes provisions for both collective security, which is the cooperation of several countries in an alliance to strengthen the security of each, and collective defense, which refers to the concept where an attack against one member is considered an attack against all members, primarily outlined in Article 51. The Charter does not nullify previous international agreements like the Hague Convention, is considered a significant advancement for international law, and covers a wide range of issues beyond just war and the use of force, including human rights and economic development.
