Creator Abulhaj, Ayman Abdel-bari
 
Subject
Self-defense; Legitimate preventive defense; The use of armed force

 
Description The right of self-defense is one of the most controversial recognized rights in the intentional law. So, there is wide split in the international law concerning the extent of this right. Where we can see the article (51) and what has stated from legal and political problematic issues, concerning the rule of legitimate defense. Also, in the international jurisprudence two primary streams appeared concerning the field ofinterpreting the text of article (51) from the charter of the United Nations and its relation with article (2). The first steam was expanded in the interpretation for the concept of self-defense to include the preventive self-defense. As for the second stream, it supported the narrow interpretation and it holds the view that the right of self-defense is limited to the case of being exposed to an armed attack. As the people of the supporting orientation hold the view that the international practices ensure the existence of preventive Self-defense right as a fixed right in the rules of customary international law.  As for the second stream, it holds the view that the UN charter after its acknowledgment has made a radical change in the use of power in international relations and the use of power became an illegitimate act unless in the case of legitimate self-defense which occurs in the case of being subjected to an actual attack. This research aims study the self-defense and anticipatory self-defense in light of UN charter and international precedents.
