the critical legal question here is, whether a state when it has reasonable doubt and adequate information that another state’s attack against itself is imminent can first act and use its right of self-defense. In other words, if the threat of an attack in imminent, does this justify the state to use force preemptively? This issue, which in the literature of International Relations is known as “preemptive strike” or “preventive strike,” is still controversial (Bellier, 2006); however, the actual law (with the exception of recent grave situations such as terrorism) is in conformity with the approach that the UN Charter should be interpreted rather narrowly. Therefore, the correct option is B.
