Legal Terms - collective security
the centralized body of international law that regulates the use of force collectively under UN jurisdiction in order to preserve or restore global peace and security. This system is currently contained in the UN Charter. One instance is the response of the global community in the 1991 Gulf War. It is important to acknowledge that the exact legal basis for this conflict remains ambiguous, with UN Security Council Resolution 678 just specifying that it was authorized under *Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Rationale for the United States and its allies' 2003 military campaign against Iraq

was asserted in accordance with Resolutions 660 and 678 of the UN Security Council, which were passed during the last Gulf War. It is still quite questionable whether such a use is lawful.
