👉 The Mandate Weapon is a concept within the framework of international law and the United Nations Charter, particularly relevant to the use of force in self-defense. It refers to a state's right to use force against an aggressor or aggressors when it has been subjected to an armed attack, as outlined in Article 51 of the UN Charter. This right is not absolute; it must be exercised only in self-defense and must be proportionate to the threat faced. The Mandate Weapon also emphasizes that any use of force must be authorized by the UN Security Council to ensure it aligns with international peace and security objectives, preventing unilateral military actions that could destabilize global relations.
