👉 The "unless weapon" is a term often used in military and security contexts to describe a specific type of self-defense or offensive action that is only permissible if an individual is explicitly threatened with a weapon. This concept is rooted in international law and military doctrine, emphasizing that the right to use force must be balanced against the prohibition of using lethal force unless absolutely necessary to prevent imminent harm. Essentially, it means that an individual can use force or even a weapon preemptively if they are in a direct and immediate danger, but must ensure that such action is proportionate and necessary to neutralize the threat. This principle aims to prevent unnecessary violence while allowing for effective self-defense or defense of others.
