Abstract
Abstract It is well established under international law that States are prohibited from using force against one another. When a State faces an armed attack from another, the former has the right to defend itself, either individually or through collective self-defense. This chapter examines whether Taiwan can invoke the right of self-defense under international law should China invade. By reviewing some of the most pertinent theoretical claims against Taiwan’s statehood, the chapter argues that Taiwan qualifies as a State for the purpose of the international law on the use of force. In the case of an armed invasion, Taiwan is entitled to exercise its right of self-defense, and it may lawfully request assistance from other States or groups of States.
