Re: Well . . .
The first sentence:
Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.
The Security Council has been “taking measures” with Iraq (a member of the U.N.) for 10 years, with zero results. Iraq continues to flout the organization’s authority, and continues to openly threaten the Middle East with attack.
