The North Atlantic Treaty
Washington D.C. - 4 April 1949
(…)
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.
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 (1).
