Art. 2 (5) can be placed in the context of Art. 25, which obliges the members of the UN to accept and to carry out the decisions of the SC in accordance with the present Charter. This needs to be stressed since a cursory reading of the first part of Art. 2 (5) may lead to the conclusion that the obligation is so general in nature that it covers each and every action decided by any organ in conformity with the Charter. Secondly, it has to be clarified that the obligation to assist the organization under this article requires the conclusion of agreements in accordance with Art.

The definition lists by way of example a series of acts, which give prima facie evidence of the first use of military force by a State, and qualifies them as acts of aggression. In the turbulent history of the UN the determination by the SC that in a given case a threat to the peace or breach of international peace and security exists has always been a highly political decision in which, because of the right of veto, the permanent members of the SC played the decisive role.
