〈北大西洋公約〉Article 5

為何台灣適用NATO第5條？ 

〈北大西洋公約〉Article 5

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

各締約國同意對於歐洲或北美之一個或數個締約國之武裝攻擊，應視為對締約國全體之攻擊。因此，締約國同意如此種武裝攻擊發生，每一締約國按照聯合國憲章第五十一條所承認之單獨或集體自衛權利之行使，應單獨並會同其他締約國採取視為必要之行動，包括武力之使用，協助被攻擊之一國或數國以恢復並維持北大西洋區域之安全。 

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.
此等武裝攻擊及因此而採取之一切措施，均應立即呈報聯合國安全理事會，在安全理事會採取恢復並維持國際和平及安全之必要措施時，此項措施應即終止。

 

〈聯合國憲章〉第51條

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. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.
聯合國任何會員國受武力政擊時，在安全理事會採取必要辦法，以維持國際和平及安全以前，本憲章不得認為禁止行使單獨或集體自衛之自然權利。會員國因行使此項自衛權而採取之辦法，應立向安全理事會報告，此項辦法於任何方面不得不影響該會按照本憲章隨時採取其所認為必要行動之權責，以維持或恢復國際和平及安全。
