Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

ABSTRACT
The United Nations Charter has enshrined the general prohibition of the use of force as well as the exception to it through the inherent right of States to defend themself if an armed attack occurs under article 51. However, the proliferation of non-State actors and the response given by States to them are challenges the international community faces to maintain international peace and security. International law must find a balance between the legitimate need of States to defend themselves from the threats that non-State actors present and at the same time to defend the essential principles of sovereign equality, territorial integrity and prohibition of the use of force.


KEYWORDS: international security, equality of States, sovereignty, international tribunal, international conflict.


RESUMEN
La Carta de las Naciones Unidas ha consagrado la prohibición general del uso de la fuerza, así como la excepción a la misma mediante el derecho inherente de los Estados a defenderse si se produce un ataque armado en virtud del artículo 51. Sin embargo, la proliferación de agentes no estatales y la respuesta que les brindan los Estados son desafíos que enfrenta la comunidad internacional para mantener la paz y la seguridad internacionales. El derecho internacional debe encontrar un equilibrio entre la legítima necesidad de los Estados de defenderse de las amenazas que presentan los actores no estatales y al mismo tiempo defender los principios esenciales de igualdad soberana, integridad territorial y prohibición del uso de la fuerza.
