| Abstract [eng] |
The thesis analyzes the evolution of the right of self-defense within international law, emphasizing developments following the events of September 11, 2001. It examines the historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary applications of self-defense, addressing its individual and collective dimensions. Special attention is given to Article 51 of the UN Charter and its interpretation in the context of modern international relations. The thesis evaluates various types of self-defense, including reactive, preventive, and anticipatory actions, and scrutinizes the criteria of necessity, immediacy, and proportionality. Furthermore, it explores the responsibilities of states and non-state actors and discusses the legal consequences of exceeding the limits of self-defense. |
