A State can use Force:

Correct answer: A. In its own self-defence

  • A. In its own self-defence
  • B. By entering into a treaty with another States
  • C. At its own discretion
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The UN Charter generally prohibits the use of force, but Article 51 preserves a state's inherent right of individual or collective self-defence after an armed attack. A treaty alone or a state's personal discretion does not create a general right to use force.
