[2] i. e., so far as the Guarantor States are concerned.
[3] In the debates of the First Committee of the Fourth Assembly it was asserted that "no forcible invasion" is
possible without a violation of Article 10 of the Covenant; but in certain circumstances war is permissible
under the Covenant (Article 15, Paragraph 7); and with a permissible war, there could be a permissible
invasion. See Oppenheim, 3rd edition, Vol. 1, page 739.
[4] i. e., no aggression, in the sense intended by the Protocol.
