Collective Self-Defense
If a country in the international system has
ある国が現実に攻撃を受けた場合に、その攻撃を自国に対する
suffered
an armed attack, then any other
ものとみなせるほど被攻撃国と密接な関係を有する国家が攻撃
country has the right,
but not the duty, to use
に対して防衛する権利
armed force against the aggressor in reliance
upon the principle of collective self-defense
(The Japan Times, 2007)
