Respect for the right of each nation to defend itself, singly or collectively, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations.” (And here I want to interpose and say that the words “in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations” are vitally important, because they refer to Article 51, where collective organization comes in in case of attack.) “6. (a) Abstention from the use of arrangements of collective defence to serve the particular interests of any of the big Powers. “(b) Abstention by any country from exerting pressure on other countries. “7. Refraining from acts or threats of aggression or the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any country. “8. Settlement of all international disputes by peaceful means, such as negotiation, conciliation, arbitration or judicial settlement, as well as other peaceful means of the parties’ own choice, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations. “9. Promotion of mutual interests and cooperation. “10. Respect for justice and international obligations.”
