Article 51 of the United Nations Charter stipulates that: “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations …”.
As a member of the United Nations under an armed attack, Ukraine is entitled to that inherent right of self-defense and all other UN member states, respecting both the letter and the spirit of the United Nations Charter, should not only refrain from impairing that right, but actually help Ukraine uphold it.
This approach is more than warranted when one considers the fact that Ukraine has been defending its territorial integrity and that of Europe for the last decade.
