Abstract
The Charter of the United Nations deals with the maintenance of international peace and security in Chapters VI (‘peaceful settlement of disputes’) and VII (‘actions with respect to threats to the peace, breaches of the peace and acts of aggression’). These provisions are based on the principle of collective security : in the case of aggression the international community will come to the aid of the attacked and terminate the aggression. With the exception perhaps of the Korean war, this system has never worked: the stand-by agreements between the United Nations and Member States, which are mentioned in Article 43 of the Charter, never came into being.
