Option 4 : The strategy was in tune with UN Charter.

Pre-emptive strategy is military philosophy in which a state asserts the right to begin an offensive against a hypothetical enemy before the enemy has a chance to attack.

  •  A preemptive strategy is one that is launched in advance of a supposed impending offensive or invasion in order to reject or defeat it.
  • It is undertaken to eliminate a targeted party's prospective danger when an attack is not imminent or known to be planned.
  • Most contemporary literature links preemptive war with aggression and argues that it is therefore unjustifiable.
  • The strategy approved attack before a potential aggressor gets too strong to gain a strategic edge in an impending battle.
  • The strategy is related to threats from rogue regimes.
  • The UN Charter prohibits the beginning of the armed conflict, which is being the first to 'break the peace when no armed attack has yet happened unless authorized by the UN Security Council as an enforcement action.
  • A preemptive strategy is declared in advance of an impending attack by another party.

Thus, The strategy that was in tune with UN Charter is not the correct pre-emptive strategy.

  • The terms 'preemptive war' and 'preventive war' are frequently interchanged.
  • The difference is that a preventative war is undertaken to eliminate a targeted party's prospective danger when an attack is not imminent or known to be planned.
