Summary
Self-defence against non-State actors, such as pirates and ships carrying letters of marque with deliberately ambiguous links to sovereign States, was the cardinal issue that framed and propelled the rise of modern international law. After the adoption of the UN Charter, the concept of self-defence has been sharpened to mean first of all the situation that one State defends itself against an ongoing armed attack by another State. However, the concept has remained controversial at the margins.
