force.”'

international peace and security.

In order to prevent an aggravation of the situation, the Security

to comply with such provisional measures.

In order to enable the United Nations to take urgent military
measures, Members shall hold immediately available national
air-force contingents for combined international enforcement

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. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right
of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security
Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and
responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to
take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to
maintain or restore international peace and security.
