 | | The fourth category in terms of the syntax of the Charter and lawful use of force is Article 2, subparagraph 4 itself, which is the statement of the prohibition of aggression in the Charter. |
 | | It is lawful authorized coercion, as long as not ultra vires, within the respective scope of competences of either the Security Council, acting under Article 24 or Chapter 7 of the charter, or the General Assembly, acting under Chapter 4 of the charter. |
 | | This inability to establish what people, who practice law for a living and are called upon to issue legal opinions for clients, refer to as a "safe harbor" and the need instead to look at all the facts and circumstances and have all sorts of the caveats and qualifications, is not a very good thing. |
