28 Article 51 UN Charter Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security....

29 If North Korea Attacks Anyone President Trump can respond to a nuclear attack against the United States or an ally with nuclear weapons, and if necessary to make sure he has destroyed all of their nuclear weapons he can hit them very hard.

30 Other Arguments Humanitarian Intervention Continuation of Korean War

31 Humanitarian Intervention Several UNSC Resolutions have denounced NK spending limited resources on nukes and military at the expense of the welfare of population. Res (2017) noted the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance had found that more than half of North Korean were suffering from a lack of food and medicine, and nearly a quarter of its total population suffers from chronic malnutrition. That s well over 6 million people, and could provide a basis for Humanitarian Intervention.

32 Anticipatory Self-Defense There is an historic doctrine called Anticipatory Self-Defense that allows States to use force first in settings where it is clear they are about to be attacked. (Not all international lawyers believe it survived the Charter, but I disagree.)

33 Anticipatory Self-Defense CAROLINE TEST Letter from U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster to Lord Ashburton, July 27, 1842: It will be for that [UK] Government to show a necessity of self-defence, instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation.

34 Anticipatory Self-Defense CAROLINE TEST Letter from SecState Daniel Webster to Lord Ashburton, July 27, 1842: It will be for that [UK] Government to show a necessity of self-defence, instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation.

35 Anticipatory Self-Defense KENNEDY CORRORLARY During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK said: We no longer live in a world where only the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to a nation's security to constitute maximum peril. Nuclear weapons are so destructive and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded as a definite threat to peace.

36 Anticipatory Self-Defense KENNEDY CORRORLARY During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK said: The We risks no of longer nuclear live weapons in a world does where increase only the the actual risks of waiting firing until of an weapons aggressor represents fires the first a sufficient shot, or his first tank crosses challenge a border. to a nation's security to constitute We may maximum need to peril. reassess Nuclear the rules weapons for justifying are so Humanitarian destructive Intervention. and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded as a definite threat to peace.

37 Anticipatory Self-Defense But there is a KENNEDY CORRORLARY tremendous risk tyrants During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK said: The We risks no of longer nuclear live weapons in a world does where increase only the the actual risks of will use this doctrine as waiting firing until of an weapons aggressor represents fires the first a sufficient shot, or his first tank crosses challenge a border. an to a nation's excuse security to to mask constitute We may maximum need to peril. reassess Nuclear the rules weapons for justifying are so Humanitarian destructive Intervention. aggression. and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded as a definite threat to peace.

38 2002 Turner proposed paradigm: Anticipatory Self-Defense But there is a KENNEDY CORRORLARY Examples: 1962 During Cuban the tremendous 1962 Missile Cuban CrisisMissile risk Crisis, tyrants JFK said: The 1967 We risks no Israel of longer nuclear 7-day live weapons war in a world does where increase only the the actual risks of will use this doctrine as waiting XXXXXX firing until of an weapons aggressor represents fires the first a sufficient shot, or his first tank crosses challenge a border. an to a nation's excuse security to to mask constitute We may maximum need to peril. reassess Nuclear the rules weapons for justifying are so Humanitarian destructive Intervention. aggression. and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded as a definite threat to peace.

39 Continuation of Korean War In 2006 North Korea responded to UNSC sanctions by declaring that the Korean War peace agreement was void.

40 Continuation of Korean War In 2006 North Korea responded to UNSC sanctions by declaring that the Korean War peace agreement was void. If North Korea says the Korean War was never ended, the U.S. could argue that it has the right to attack the enemy in an ongoing armed conflict.

41 Continuation of Korean War I would want my In 2006 North Korea responded to UNSC sanctions fee up by front declaring to take that the Korean this War argument peace agreement to was void.
