This article examines the legal implications of Chapter VII authorizations by the UN Security Council, particularly regarding the obligations of target States and the permissibility of defensive actions. It argues against the assumption that States have no right to defend themselves against such authorizations, proposing that these resolutions can effectively function as declarations of war. By exploring the interactions between international humanitarian law and the actions taken under these resolutions, the article seeks to clarify the nuanced legal landscape surrounding State responses to military interventions sanctioned by the Security Council.
