Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the unilateral use or threat of force in international relations, Article 51 makes an exception for individual and collective self-defence, and states have a duty to refrain from propaganda for wars of aggression. The claims that there are no exceptions and that coercive economic or political measures are permissible are wrong, so the answer is "A, C, and E only".
