Abstract

Under the UN Charter, the threat and use of force is prohibited by Article 2.4, which most writers consider a peremptory norm of international law. The use of force by individual states (acting alone or in a military alliance) is permitted only in self-defence under article 51 or against “enemy states”, according to Articles 107 and 53 (the action may be taken by individual states or by a regional organisation). The practice shows that states are lawfully permitted to resort to force, if they are authorised by the UN Security Council (SC), acting under Chapter VII, that is, if the SC determines that there is a threat to peace or a breach of peace or that an act of aggression have taken place. This point is no longer object of controversy, even though writers are questioning whether this permissive rule is the consequence of a custom within the Charter or can simply be derived from Article 48, which states that actions required to carry out decisions of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security shall be taken by all UN members “or by some of them”. 1
北约武装干预南斯拉夫联邦共和国的国际法教训
根据《联合国宪章》,第2.4条禁止以武力相威胁和使用武力,大多数作者认为这是国际法的强制性规范。根据第51条的规定,只有在自卫的情况下,或者在第107条和第53条的规定下,针对“敌国”的情况下,个别国家(单独行动或军事同盟行动)才被允许使用武力(这种行动可以由个别国家或地区组织采取)。实践表明,如果各国得到联合国安理会授权,根据第七章行事,也就是说,如果安理会确定存在对和平的威胁或破坏和平或侵略行为已经发生,那么各国就可以合法地使用武力。这一点已不再是争论的对象,尽管作者们正在质疑这一允许规则是《宪章》内的一种习惯的结果,还是可以简单地从第48条推导出来,该条规定,为执行安理会维持国际和平与安全的决定所需要的行动,应由所有联合国会员国“或其中一些会员国”采取。1
