	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2016 answer text <p>It has long been the position of successive UK Governments that &quot;the inherent right of self-defence&quot;, as recognised in Article 51 of the UN Charter, does not require a State to wait until an armed attack is actually under way before it can lawfully use force to alleviate the threat. A State may use force in anticipation of an armed attack where such an attack is imminent, provided that such force is both necessary and proportionate to averting the threat. The assessments would depend on the facts of each case, with consideration likely to include issues such as the nature and immediacy of the threat, the probability of an attack, its scale and effects and whether it can be prevented without force.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 28/01/2016 16:41:19 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
