Border cases of self-defense in international law in historical perspective

Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the concept of the right to self-defense of UN member states, taking into account specific border cases. This issue is extremely topical due to the ongoing armed conflicts, especially in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. From this perspective, a fundamental question arises, namely the issue of justification of the actions taken by the parties to the conflict in the light of applicable international law. Historically, after the end of World War II, countries often tried to justify their military actions, treating such actions as self-defense. Hence, the author draws attention to the behavior of the United States towards Cuba during the crisis in 1962, Israel's actions towards neighboring countries - especially Egypt, Syria, Jordan during the Six-Day War in 1967, and Iraq in 1981. In addition, it also includes the raid on the reactor in Al.-Kibar in Syria in 2007.
