Under which of the following provisions of the Charter of the United Nations the principle of non-intervention by States (as distinct from the United Nations) is contained ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Article 2(4) of the UN Charter requires all Members to "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state". The principle of non-intervention by one State in the affairs of another is drawn from this provision.
Article 2(7) is different: it bars the United Nations itself from intervening "in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state". It restrains the Organisation, not individual States.
