Sept. 25, 2019

About:

Article 35 of the UN Charter says that any member of the UN may take a dispute to the Security Council or General Assembly, if the parties to a dispute that has the potential for endangering international peace are not able to resolve the matter through negotiations between them.
Article 51 says that a UN member has the “inherent right of individual or collective self-defence” if attacked, “till such time that the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security”.
