Abstract

This article concentrates on setting the moment when use of force in self defense becomes justified under public international law and comments on occasionally postulated doctrine of pre-emptive self defense. The author identifies four views on that matter, represented by the scholars, shows their legal justifications and points out potential legal issues connected to their use, both from the legal and practical point of view. The article also presents examples of use of force in order to illustrate presented issues.
